Question
My baby has a fever of 37.7°C, what should I do?
Answer
Hello, considering the possibility of a cold, common symptoms include coughing, expectoration, and fever. A baby’s body temperature does not need to be raised by an additional 0.5 degrees; anything over 37 degrees is considered a fever. You can give the baby paracetamol for treatment, and encourage them to drink plenty of water while keeping warm. If the situation does not improve, intravenous treatment may be necessary. Additionally, there are many causes of respiratory system infections in children. If the child is diagnosed with a respiratory system infection, parents should cooperate with the doctor’s treatment and ensure good hygiene habits for the baby. Parents should also avoid letting the child be picky with food and maintain a balanced diet.
