Question
The baby has a persistent high fever, 38 degrees during the day and 40 degrees at night, urgent. How should it be handled?
Answer
It is recommended to start with physical cooling methods, such as using fever-reducing patches or suppositories. At the same time, you can wipe the baby’s neck, armpits, limbs, and soles with alcohol dampened cloths, but be careful not to use too high an alcohol concentration to avoid affecting the baby’s skin. Additionally, place wet cold towels on the forehead, wrists, and lower legs, and cover other parts with clothing to achieve the cooling effect.
