Question
My baby is seven weeks old and has a slight fever of 38 degrees. How should I bring down the fever?
Answer
Infant fevers are typically caused by infectious diseases and require a thorough examination to identify the specific cause. It is advisable to consult a doctor for diagnosis before taking any medication and to avoid self-medication. If the body temperature is below 38.5 degrees, you can administer fever-reducing medication and then follow up with a pediatrician.
