Question
The child has a fever of 39 degrees, has been very unruly and crying lately, and going to the hospital has not helped. Ask for solutions.
Answer
A baby’s fever may be caused by bacterial infection or catching a cold. If the body temperature does not exceed 38.5 degrees, it is generally not recommended to use fever-reducing medication. Instead, you can use alcohol swabs or wet cotton balls to wipe the baby’s forehead or armpits for physical cooling. If needed, you can go to the hospital for a routine blood test. If there is an infection, antibiotic treatment should be administered. Make sure to keep the baby well-hydrated, which aids in alleviating the condition. Wishing the baby a quick recovery!
