Question
How to treat a 3-month-old baby who has a persistent fever?
Answer
The causes of pediatric fever are numerous, and clinical diagnosis can be divided into infectious and non-infectious, with infectious causes being more common, such as the common cold being the most frequent. It is essential to first identify the cause of the fever and address it accordingly. High body temperature can easily lead to febrile convulsions in infants, so it is also necessary to control the temperature. The main methods are medication for lowering body temperature and physical methods for cooling down, and it is best to use medication under a doctor’s guidance.
