Question
The baby’s body temperature has reached 38 degrees over the past few days. How should it be handled?
Answer
Firstly, pay attention to whether the baby’s body temperature exceeds 37 degrees, as this can be considered a fever. For a four-month-old baby, you can give infant paracetamol and antihistamine granules for treatment, and ensure the baby drinks plenty of water to maintain body temperature. At the same time, be sure to keep warm, and consider intravenous treatment if necessary. If the baby’s condition is severe, it is recommended to seek medical attention immediately and cooperate with the doctor for treatment, including gastrointestinal decompression and developing good hygiene habits. In terms of diet, it is important to provide the baby with reasonable and healthy food, avoiding irritating and cold foods.
