Question
A 6-month-old baby cannot lift its head, can roll over, and has normal appetite with no significant abnormalities. However, it sometimes trembles. What should parents do if the baby is scared in the ninth month of pregnancy?
Answer
When a baby is frightened, parents should immediately comfort the baby with a gentle voice and gentle touch, which helps the baby feel secure and comfortable. If the baby has a fever and the temperature exceeds 38.5 degrees Celsius, symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication like ibuprofen (such as Merck) can be used. It is also important to ensure the baby drinks plenty of water and gets adequate rest.
