Question
After taking antipyretics, the baby’s body temperature has dropped continuously for three nights at night, rising in the late night, normal during the day, in good spirits, milk intake reduced, urine output was more yesterday, three times today, less water intake than yesterday, only a small amount. I am worried about the baby’s condition.
Answer
The baby’s body temperature dropping after taking antipyretics may be a normal phenomenon as the thermoregulatory center is not fully developed. Usually, as long as there are no symptoms like crying or poor spirits, pay more attention to keeping warm and increasing fluid intake. If the baby has a lack of appetite, it may be necessary to further investigate the cause of the fever. Effective treatment can only be achieved after finding the cause. There is no need to worry excessively; I hope my explanation helps you.
