Question
Why does a 9-month-old baby often have a high fever?
Answer
When a baby has a fever, you can initially use alcohol rub to help lower the temperature. However, it’s more important to find out the cause of the fever, as it can be due to various factors including infection, connective tissue diseases, or malignant tumors. In severe cases, fever can affect the baby’s health and growth. Without a clear cause, it’s not advisable to rush into using medication.
