Question
How to treat a baby with a low fever that has lasted for nine days?
Answer
When a baby’s body temperature exceeds 37 degrees, it can be considered a low fever. If the temperature does not exceed 38 degrees, you can use fever-reducing patches at home to manage the condition. However, if the temperature goes above 38 degrees, immediate fever-reducing medication should be administered, and the baby should be taken to the hospital for examination. Generally, low fevers are not severe and can be relieved by maintaining good ventilation in the room and using fever-reducing patches. However, if the low fever persists, further investigation into the cause is necessary, as infections, connective tissue diseases, and malignant tumors can all lead to fever. Medication should not be rushed without determining the cause. If the baby’s mood is unstable, further observation and treatment may be required.
