Question

The 6-month-old baby cannot lift her head, can roll over, and has normal appetite; there are no other obvious abnormalities. However, she sometimes shivers. What could be the reason for the baby to have a fever every month?

Answer

Hello, considering the possibility of a cold, symptoms usually include coughing, sputum production, and fever. The measured body temperature does not need to be increased by 0.5 degrees; a temperature over 37 degrees is considered a fever. You can use children’s paracetamol and chlorpheniramine granules for treatment, drink plenty of water, and ensure proper warmth. In necessary cases, intravenous treatment can be adopted.
