Diarrhea with Fever: How to Reduce the Temperature at 38.9 Degrees?

Question

Rewrite according to the ask column My baby has been having diarrhea and then developed a fever, and the temperature measured today is 38.9 degrees. How should I reduce the fever for my child in this situation?

Answer

Rewrite according to the answer column When your baby’s temperature reaches 38.9 degrees, first observe any changes in their body temperature to determine if there are other causes of the high fever. If the temperature continues to rise or other symptoms appear, consider administering a fever-reducing injection or using products like Merck’s fever-reducing syrup, such as the Merck suspension. If the child’s temperature shows a downward trend, there is no need to take medication immediately, as fever-reducing drugs for children may pose greater risks and could potentially affect the child’s immune system.
