Question
A six-month-old baby is experiencing persistent low fever, with body temperature rising from 37.7 degrees to 38.9 degrees, accompanied by mild diarrhea, and symptoms recurring. How should I handle this situation?
Answer
During the summer, babies may develop high body temperatures due to insufficient water intake. It is recommended to increase the baby’s intake of plain water to help lower the body temperature. Additionally, many children currently have fever due to viral chickenpox, and conventional antipyretics may be ineffective. If the body temperature rises repeatedly, check for blisters on the baby’s throat or limbs to seek timely medical diagnosis and treatment.
