Question
How to handle a 5-month-old baby’s fever?
Answer
If there are no rashes and no other discomforts, and the baby is simply running a fever, it could be due to a viral infection or possibly inflammation. It is recommended to take the child to the hospital for a routine blood test. If the fever is caused by a virus, antiviral medication such as Qingkailing Granules or Ribavirin Granules (XinboLin) can be taken. For inflammation, Amoxicillin Granules (TaiErXin) can be used. If the fever exceeds 38.5°C, additional fever-reducing medication such as Ibuprofen Suspension can be administered.
