Question
How should one deal with an infant’s high fever that lasts for more than 10 days and exceeds 38.5 degrees?
Answer
Persistent high fever in infants can be caused by various factors, including bacterial or viral infections, exposure to cold, and more. When the temperature does not exceed 38.5 degrees, the primary approach should be to ensure the infant drinks plenty of fluids. If the temperature rises above 38.5 degrees, it is important to actively use fever-reducing medication and combine it with physical cooling methods. Additionally, plenty of fluids should be consumed, and a blood test may be necessary to determine the cause. These measures can effectively alleviate symptoms and help find the root treatment method.
