Question
How to bring down a baby’s fever?
Answer
When a baby has a fever, if the temperature does not exceed 38.5 degrees Celsius, you can try using warm water to wipe the baby’s entire body, hands, and feet to physically lower the temperature. At the same time, ensure the baby drinks enough water to help bring down the fever. If the temperature exceeds 38.5 degrees Celsius, it is recommended to take antipyretic medication under a doctor’s guidance. Additionally, the baby may have a fever due to respiratory tract infection caused by a cold, at which time appropriate cold medicine, anti-inflammatory medication, and cough medicine, such as Huitong Granules, XiaoKuaiKe, Cefaclor Granules, and Fresh Bamboo Decoction Oral Liquid, can be administered, and attention should be paid to rest and drink plenty of water. Once you discover that the baby has a fever, it is timely to take antipyretic medication.
