Question
What are the possible symptoms of a high temperature in an 8-month-old baby? The baby has a bit of a fever and a cold, has taken some fever-reducing medicine, and I want to get some help. Is it caused by the fever? Could there be other conditions? Will the temperature drop after the fever subsides?
Answer
A high temperature caused by fever may be due to the release of endotoxins. It is recommended to use medication and physical methods to lower the temperature. You can use a cold cloth to apply to the baby’s forehead and wipe the child’s hands with alcohol. You can also give the baby a suitable dose of pediatric fever-reducing medicine.
