Question
Can a two-week-old baby use a fever patch?
Answer
A two-week-old baby can use a fever patch. Generally, if the body temperature does not exceed 38 degrees Celsius, there is no need to take fever-reducing medication; physical cooling methods can be used instead, such as wiping the body with alcohol, or using warm water to wipe the face and forehead. If the body temperature exceeds 38 degrees Celsius, consider giving the baby ibuprofen suspension or naproxen for fever reduction. It is important to note that there are many causes of pediatric respiratory diseases. If the baby is diagnosed with a pediatric respiratory disease, parents should cooperate with the doctor for active treatment and gastrointestinal decompression, while also developing good hygiene habits. The baby’s diet should be reasonable, avoiding spicy and cold foods.
