Question
With the hot weather, there has been an increase in the consumption of cold foods at home, leading to the baby having a fever. How should it be handled?
Answer
Childhood fever has complex causes, which can be categorized into infectious and non-infectious, with infectious being the most common. Colds are one of the typical causes. The primary treatment is to identify the cause and treat it accordingly. High body temperature can easily lead to febrile convulsions in children, so it is necessary to control body temperature. Medication or physical cooling methods can be used, but it is recommended to use medication under a doctor’s guidance.
