Question
How to treat a newborn’s fever?
Answer
A newborn’s fever might be caused by viral influenza or infantile rash. Parents can give the baby antiviral syrup or other traditional Chinese medicine like Qingkailing to treat the flu. If the body temperature exceeds 38.5°C, it is important to use fever-reducing medication promptly, and ensure the baby drinks plenty of water and takes a bath to help lower the temperature. At the same time, parents should closely monitor the baby’s condition and seek medical attention immediately if any abnormalities are detected.
