Question
How to handle a 11-month-old baby’s fever of 38.5 degrees?
Answer
When an infant has a fever, consider using physical cooling methods first, such as using alcohol to wipe the body, or gently wiping the face and forehead with warm water. If the baby’s body temperature exceeds 38 degrees, you can consider giving them ibuprofen suspension or naproxen as fever-reducing medication. However, before using any medication, please consult with a doctor or pharmacist.
