Question
The baby has been running a fever for the past few days, how should I treat it?
Answer
Fever can be caused by many reasons, including infections, immune reactions, or overheating. For babies under one year old, fever can be a serious issue because their immune systems are not fully developed. If your baby has a fever, you should contact a doctor immediately for an accurate diagnosis and treatment. In most cases, the doctor will examine the baby’s overall condition, medical history, and symptoms, and may perform some tests, such as blood or urine tests, to determine the cause of the fever. Treatment methods may include medication, physical cooling methods (cooling methods), or other specific treatments, depending on the cause. Additionally, ensuring that the baby receives adequate hydration and nutrition is also very important.
