Question

Can a two-week-old baby use a fever patch?

Answer

If a two-week-old baby has a fever and the temperature does not exceed 38 degrees, a fever patch can be used for physical cooling. If the temperature goes above 38 degrees, it is advisable to consult a doctor and use fever-reducing medication under medical guidance. Additionally, other physical cooling methods can be employed, such as wiping the face and forehead with warm water, or using alcohol to wipe the body. Moreover, parents should closely monitor their child’s condition and seek immediate medical treatment if the situation worsens.
