Question
A 9-month-old baby started having a fever from yesterday morning, with the body temperature fluctuating between 38 to 40 degrees. The baby has had fevers during the day, accompanied by chills and clear nasal discharge. Last night, the temperature was normal, but this morning it rose again to over 38 degrees. Here are the blood routine reports. How should I handle this situation?
Answer
According to the blood routine report, the baby may have both viral infection and cold symptoms, which could lead to recurrent fever. It is recommended to immediately administer antiviral medication and medications to treat the cold, and continue to observe the baby for 3 days. Additionally, ensure the baby drinks plenty of water, gets adequate rest, and consumes light, easy-to-digest foods. These are the recommendations for handling the situation where a 9-month-old baby has been experiencing a fever ranging from 38 to 40 degrees. I hope this helps, and wish the baby a speedy recovery!
