Question
What should be done if an 8-month-old baby has a body temperature of 38.5 degrees?
Answer
Based on your description, the baby is suffering from a cold and fever. It is recommended to take heat-reducing treatment, such as taking naproxen tablets and diphtheria-tetanus-pertussis granules, and to increase nutrition intake and the supplementation of vitamins and trace elements. Provide careful and attentive care for the baby. If symptoms worsen, seek medical attention promptly to avoid affecting the baby’s health and growth.
