Question

An 8-month-old baby cannot lift her head, can roll over, has normal appetite, and there are no significant abnormalities. However, she sometimes shivers. How should I handle a 8-month-old baby who keeps on having a fever?

Answer

You can first try using alcohol to bathe the baby for fever reduction, and then investigate the cause of the fever. There are many reasons for fever, the most common being infection, followed by connective tissue diseases, malignant tumors, and others. Don’t rush into medication. We know that pediatric neurological diseases can cause significant harm to children. If not treated promptly or with incorrect treatment methods, they progress rapidly and can bring great harm to children. Therefore, parents should pay more attention to their child’s condition and seek treatment in a timely manner.
