Question
Why would a newborn suddenly have a fever?
Answer
A newborn’s fever could be the body’s response to an infection. If the temperature is below 38.5 degrees Celsius, it can be observed and the child should be given adequate rest and fluids. If the temperature exceeds 38.5 degrees Celsius, antipyretic medication can be used, along with physical cooling (cooling). At the same time, it is advisable to consult a doctor for a diagnosis and appropriate treatment.
