Question
I am a 49-year-old woman who recently noticed something off with my child. After checking, I found out that my child is sick. Question: How should I handle a 9-month-old baby’s repeated cold and fever?
Answer
When a baby’s body temperature exceeds 38.5 degrees Celsius, you can give them an appropriate antipyretic, such as a child-safe fever reducer. After the fever subsides, it is recommended to see a doctor quickly for routine blood tests for mycoplasma and chlamydia to determine the infection before medication is administered. At the same time, the baby should maintain a regulated diet and regular sleep schedule, adjust physical and mental health, maintain a good mood, eat light and soft foods, drink plenty of water, and consume more vegetables and fruits.
