Question
How should one handle a baby with a fever?
Answer
A fever can be caused by a viral infection, and in severe cases, may require medication. It is advisable for parents to first adopt physical cooling methods, such as dressing the baby in fewer clothes and using warm water to wipe the body. At the same time, encourage the baby to drink more water to maintain fluid balance. If the baby’s fever persists or is accompanied by other symptoms, it is best to take the baby to see a doctor as soon as possible.
