Question
What to Do When Babies Keep Feverish?
Answer
Fever in children is a common occurrence, usually caused by a cold. Since their thermoregulatory center is not fully developed, they are easily affected by the environment, leading to temperature fluctuations. Generally, if the temperature does not exceed 38 degrees, it is not necessary to take antipyretic medication. Physical cooling methods can be used primarily, such as using alcohol to wipe the body, and warm water to wash the face and forehead. If the temperature exceeds 38 degrees, it is generally recommended to take ibuprofen suspension or naproxen.
