Question
Is a 7-month-old baby’s body temperature of 37.8 degrees a fever?
Answer
It is considered a low-grade fever; generally, it is recommended not to exceed 38 degrees, and there is no need to take antipyretic medication. Physical cooling (cooling) methods should be the main approach, such as alcohol wiping, and rinsing the face and forehead with warm water. If the temperature exceeds 38 degrees, ibuprofen suspension or naproxen can be taken. Hello, fever is usually caused by viral or bacterial infections. It is recommended to have a blood test to determine the cause and receive targeted treatment. If the fever is quite high and there is no antipyretic medication available, cold compresses can be used to lower the temperature. Alcohol or warm water wiping can also help in cooling down.
