Question
Is it normal for a baby’s body temperature to be only slightly over 35 degrees Celsius after taking ibuprofen, ribavirin, and pediatric pseudo-gout medicine for fever?
Answer
After a baby takes ibuprofen and ribavirin for fever, if the body temperature drops to slightly over 35 degrees Celsius, it is due to the body’s temperature center being moved down by external wind and cold. Ibuprofen directly affects the brain’s temperature center, causing the temperature regulation point to drop rapidly. After the body temperature rises, it will automatically adjust back to the normal range. There is no need to worry excessively; wish the baby a speedy recovery!
