Question
The baby vomited the other day, throwing up whatever they ate. Later, they started to have a fever of about 38°C. The hospital examination showed slightly elevated white blood cells. The other day, I gave them a little bit of chewed rice. How can I make the baby feel better faster? Are there any home remedies or other methods that can help the baby recover quickly? The baby has had a fever for two days now.
Answer
There are many causes of pediatric fever, which can be divided into infectious and non-infectious in clinical diagnosis, with infectious causes being more common, such as the common cold being the most frequent. It is crucial to first diagnose the cause of the fever and then treat it accordingly. High body temperature can easily lead to pediatric febrile convulsions, so it is necessary to control the body temperature. This mainly involves medication for temperature reduction and physical cooling methods, and it is best to use medication under a doctor’s guidance.
