Question
How to treat a 7-month-old baby’s low fever?
Answer
Due to the underdeveloped temperature regulation center in children, they are easily affected by external factors, leading to fluctuations in body temperature. Generally, if the temperature does not exceed 38 degrees, it is not necessary to take antipyretic medication. Physical cooling methods should be the main approach, such as using alcohol for wiping the body, or washing the face and forehead with warm water. If the temperature exceeds 38 degrees, ibuprofen suspension or naproxen can be taken. It is important to note that pediatric neurological diseases can cause severe harm to children. If not treated promptly or with incorrect methods, the condition may worsen rapidly. Therefore, parents should closely monitor their child’s condition and seek medical attention in a timely manner.
