Question
Lately, my baby has been running a fever. He is only five months old. How should I treat him at home?
Answer
Based on your description, if a five-month-old child experiences persistent fever, this is a serious matter, and you should take your child to see a doctor immediately. The doctor will examine the child’s condition, determine the cause of the fever, and provide appropriate treatment. In many cases, respiratory system infections in infants are the cause of fever, and if diagnosed, the doctor will start treatment immediately, possibly recommending antibiotics and other therapeutic measures. Additionally, the doctor will advise you to pay attention to your child’s diet and hygiene habits to help your child recover more quickly.
