Question
My baby is 5 months and 1 week old. A few days ago, she had a high fever that subsided and then developed a rash. She started having a high fever a few days ago, and yesterday the fever went down. In the afternoon, she began to develop red rashes, starting from the head and now there are also pinkish rashes on her body that look like heat rash. I’m looking for help: what kind of illness is it and how should it be treated?
Answer
High fevers are often caused by bacterial, viral, or mycoplasma infections, primarily requiring identification of the pathogen, with common causes including upper respiratory infections and gastrointestinal infections. If the temperature is below 39 degrees Celsius, medication for temperature reduction is needed, such as Anruike; physical cooling should be implemented for hyperthermia. This is the suggestion for the question “My baby is 5 months and 1 week old and had a high fever a few days ago.” I hope this helps you, and wish you health!
