Question
After four days of fever, the baby took an excessive amount of fever-reducing medication, causing the body temperature to drop to 35.2 degrees. How should this be handled?
Answer
The baby may have experienced hypothermia due to taking an excessive amount of fever-reducing medication. It is recommended to give the baby plenty of water, keep warm, and use a hot water bottle to help the body temperature naturally rise as the medication is metabolized. There is no need to rush to the hospital immediately, as there are no better treatment methods available there.
