Question

My baby is almost nine months old and has been running a high fever for 12 hours without relief. What should I do?

Answer

There are many reasons for a baby to have a high fever, including viral infections and abnormal blood tests. It is recommended to take your baby to the hospital for a detailed examination and treatment as soon as possible. At home, you can use physical cooling methods and ensure your baby gets enough fluids to help the body fight off the illness.
