Question
The girl’s armpit temperature is about 36.5 degrees in the morning, and 37.1 to 37.3 degrees in the afternoon and evening.
Answer
Hello, generally speaking, if a baby has a fever above 38.5 degrees, it’s considered appropriate to administer fever-reducing medication such as Bupleurum Granules, Zexin, or Merck, as they are all effective for lowering fever. However, considering that the baby’s body resistance is low at this time, it’s best not to take medication if the fever doesn’t exceed 38 degrees. Physical cooling methods can be used for treatment, such as wiping the baby’s palms and soles with diluted alcohol or placing a cool towel on the baby’s forehead. Also, make sure to give the baby plenty of water.
