Question
The baby first had a cough, then started running a nose, and now has a fever. The baby doesn’t seem well. What should I do?
Answer
There are many causes of pediatric fevers, with common ones being infectious fevers, such as the common cold. Before treatment, it is important to determine the cause and then administer medication accordingly. If the body temperature is too high, it may trigger a fever seizure, requiring immediate cooling. This can be done using medication and physical cooling methods.
