Question
A 6-month-old baby cannot lift their head, can roll over, and has normal appetite. There are no other significant abnormalities, but the baby sometimes trembles. What could be causing the child’s repeated fever?
Answer
Hello, fever is a common occurrence in children, usually caused by a cold. Due to the child’s underdeveloped temperature regulation center, they are more prone to external influences, resulting in fluctuations in body temperature. Generally, if the temperature does not exceed 38 degrees Celsius, it is not necessary to take antipyretic medication. Physical cooling (cooling) methods such as rubbing with alcohol, washing the face and forehead with warm water can be used. If the temperature exceeds 38 degrees Celsius, you can usually take ibuprofen suspension or naproxen.
