Question
Our child has been acting up lately, crying and fussing constantly. Even after visiting the doctor, there’s no diagnosis. Can giving the baby an intravenous drip help reduce the fever?
Answer
It is recommended to administer oral medications to the baby, such as children’s fever-reducing medicine, cough medicine, and antibiotics, while also ensuring adequate hydration. Avoid feeding the baby cold, spicy, or irritating food and maintain regular bowel movements. Additionally, menthol rub contains camphor, which can stimulate the nervous system, so it should be avoided for children under three years old.
