Question
My child just turned one week old, and today he has a slight fever but no symptoms of a cold. His body temperature is 38.7 degrees Celsius. What could be the cause, and what should I do?
Answer
If a baby has a fever without cold symptoms, it may be due to indigestion. Pay attention to the child’s bowel movements and you can give the child oral stomachic and digestion-promoting medication along with fever-reducing medication for treatment. There are many factors that can cause respiratory problems in children. If the child is diagnosed with pediatric respiratory system issues, parents need to actively cooperate with the doctor’s treatment, cooperate with gastrointestinal decompression , and develop good hygiene habits. The child should have a balanced diet and avoid irritating and cold foods.
