I would like to know what measures should be taken and how a doctor would recommend handling this situation. The newborn has a history of hypoxic lung disease and intracranial hemorrhage.
Answer
For newborns experiencing low-grade fever, the most common cause is a cold. You can first administer cold medicine to the baby and monitor the situation. You can choose pediatric medication or cold granules. Additionally, ensure the baby stays well-hydrated. If the fever persists or recurs, it is important to seek medical attention promptly.
