How to deal with fever symptoms in an 8-month-old baby?
Answer
To handle fever symptoms in an 8-month-old, you can first use alcohol-based sponge baths to help lower the temperature, and then further investigate the cause of the fever. Possible causes may include infections, connective tissue diseases, or malignant tumors. Do not rush to use medication before determining the cause. If you suspect acute bronchitis or pharyngitis, drink plenty of fluids, avoid spicy foods, and take symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication such as amoxicillin or azithromycin, as well as expectorants and cough suppressants. If symptoms do not improve, it is recommended to visit the hospital promptly for an accurate diagnosis and treatment.
