Question
What medicine should a six-month-old baby take for a fever?
Answer
A baby’s fever doesn’t occur without a reason. You should give the baby cold and anti-inflammatory medication. There are many causes of fever in children, including upper respiratory infections, gastroenteritis, tonsillitis, pneumonia, and various infectious diseases. Additionally, babies under one year old may also experience fever due to urinary tract infections, gastrointestinal illnesses, or hand, foot, and mouth disease. Many situations require a physician’s judgment to determine the true cause of the fever.
