Question
The child has had a fever for 5 days without relief. What should I do?
Answer
Fever in the early stages of a cold is usually caused by a viral infection. It is suggested to give the baby some antiviral medication, as the baby’s body temperature is 37.5 degrees, which is considered low fever. Physical cooling methods can be tried, such as using alcohol for wiping or applying a fever-reducing patch. It is recommended to observe the situation first and seek medical attention promptly if the condition worsens. Wishing the baby a quick recovery.
