What should you do if a six-month-old baby has a high fever?

Answer

When you discover that a six-month-old baby has a high fever, you can first take some home care measures, such as using alcohol wipe bathing to help cool the baby down. However, it is important to find out the cause of the fever, as it could be due to different reasons such as infection, connective tissue disease, or malignant tumors. In most cases, fever is caused by infection, so it is not recommended to use medication immediately without determining the cause. If the situation is severe, it is advisable to seek medical attention promptly for further examination and treatment.
