Question
Lately, my 8-month-old baby often has a fever and seems quite uncomfortable, always crying and fussing. I have already taken him to the hospital for a check-up, but the doctor also couldn’t find the cause. Are there any methods that can help my baby?
Answer
Hello, when your baby suddenly develops a fever, you should immediately take him to see a doctor for a blood test to determine the cause of the fever. Fever could be caused by upper respiratory infection, viral infection, or other reasons. Since babies are still very young, one must be very cautious when choosing medication for treatment and should not administer medication randomly. At home, you can gently wipe your baby’s body with warm water to help dissipate heat. Additionally, ensuring your baby has enough water and rest is also very important. If you are concerned about your baby’s condition, do not hesitate to bring him back to the doctor.
