Question
The child has been crying and fussing a lot recently, and not eating much. Is there a problem if an 8-month-old child only drinks milk when they have a fever?
Answer
You can first try using alcohol to bathe the child to reduce the fever, then find out the cause of the fever. There are many reasons for fever, the most common being infection, followed by connective tissue disease, malignant tumors, and others. Don’t rush to take medication. First, observe the child’s condition. If the symptoms do not improve, it is recommended to seek medical attention promptly.
