Question

A five-month-old baby experienced a high fever of 38.5 degrees Celsius throughout the night, but after the fever subsided, the baby continued to have persistent sweating. What could be the cause?

Answer

Based on the description, this situation may be due to the baby suffering from a viral cold that caused the fever, and after the fever subsided, the baby experienced weakness, leading to symptoms of easy sweating. It is especially important to pay attention to the baby’s warmth in recent days and to clean and change into clean clothes promptly after sweating. At the same time, maintain good oral hygiene for the baby by using sterilized gauze to clean the mouth after meals. It is recommended to take the baby outdoors appropriately for sunlight exposure to promote calcium absorption and enhance immunity.
