Question
The baby has a fever after 5 days of hospitalization for newborn pneumonia. What should I do? The current temperature is 37.3 degrees; is this considered a fever?
Answer
Hello. I’m glad to help you with this. The most common cause of this situation in the baby is due to respiratory inflammation caused by viral or bacterial infection, which affects digestive function and results in symptoms. Based on the specific medication used, appropriate adjustments can be made. Additionally, pay attention to abdominal warmth and administer piperonal oral solution to relieve symptoms. It is recommended to seek professional treatment at a regular hospital.
