Question
How to handle a six-month-old’s low fever? My child has been acting up lately, crying and fussing non-stop. We’ve gone to the hospital for checks but it hasn’t helped. What should we do?
Answer
Hello, such symptoms are often caused by infectious fever, which could be due to viral or bacterial infection. It is recommended to use physical cooling methods, such as cold compresses on the forehead. If the body temperature exceeds 38.5 degrees, consider using ibuprofen suspension for medication-induced cooling. The key to treatment is to find the cause, which can be further determined through blood tests to determine the treatment plan.
