Question
How should I treat a 2.5-year-old baby who has been running a low fever for three days?
Answer
Firstly, it’s important to measure the baby’s body temperature to determine the extent of the fever. If it’s just a low-grade fever, you can try to have the baby drink more water, rest, and observe for other symptoms such as coughing, sore throat, or vomiting. If the baby has these symptoms or the temperature exceeds 38.5°C, it’s advisable to take them to see a doctor for further examination and treatment. Additionally, if the baby’s condition is not good or there are other discomforts, seek medical attention as soon as possible.
