Question
What causes a three-year-old baby to have a fever?
Answer
A baby’s fever can be due to bacterial infection or catching a cold. Generally speaking, if the baby’s body temperature does not exceed 38.5 degrees Celsius, physical cooling methods can be attempted, such as using alcohol swabs or wet towels to wipe the baby’s forehead and armpits. In necessary cases, the baby can be taken to the hospital for routine blood tests to determine if there is an infection, and antibiotic treatment can be used as needed. Ensuring the baby drinks plenty of water can help alleviate the condition, and wishing the baby a speedy recovery!
