Question

What should be done after a newborn’s body temperature drops?

Answer

After a baby’s body temperature returns to normal, dehydration may occur, so it is recommended to give the baby plenty of water. You can add a small amount of salt to the water to replenish electrolytes, and also let the baby drink some rice porridge to strengthen the constitution. If the baby exhibits symptoms such as vomiting or diarrhea, it is advisable to take them to the hospital for a comprehensive examination and treatment based on the examination results. Pay attention to keeping the baby warm in everyday life and avoid eating irritating food.
