Question
How should I handle a baby with a fever of 38 degrees?
Answer
Fever is the body’s response to inflammation, usually caused by bacterial infections. Babies have weaker immune systems and are at a higher risk of contracting diseases. It is recommended to undergo appropriate treatment under a doctor’s guidance, while also paying attention to staying warm, feeding appropriately, and avoiding catching a cold. Additionally, it is advisable to wear more clothing, reduce contact with susceptible individuals, and avoid other adverse stimuli to help the baby gradually recover.
