Question
What should I do if a 7-month-old child has a fever one night?
Answer
You can first use alcohol to bathe the child to reduce the fever, and then investigate the cause of the fever. Possible causes of fever may include infections, connective tissue diseases, malignant tumors, etc. If the fever does not subside and lasts for a long time, and medication treatment is not effective, it is recommended to go to a large hospital for detailed examination. During the fever, you can temporarily use fever-reducing medication for treatment and then proceed with targeted treatment after finding the cause. At the same time, ensure the child drinks plenty of water, gets adequate rest, and avoids smoking, drinking, and spicy or irritating food. I hope these suggestions can help solve the problem.
