Question
Today I was at work, and my older brother said that my child has a fever and I should come back home immediately. When I got home, I saw the baby’s little face was flushed, and he had no spirit at all, which really made me feel sorry. My wife was so worried that she cried. What should I do, doctor, if my one-month-old baby has a fever of 38 degrees?
Answer
You can cool down your child by using a hot towel to wipe their armpits and elbows to reduce the fever, and you can also give him some warm water. If the temperature does not exceed 38 degrees and 5 degrees, it is not recommended to give children febrifuge medicine, or you can choose to use a fever-reducing patch to help reduce the fever. It works quite well. Inflammation and fever can also occur after the baby has caught a cold.
