Question
An 8-month-old baby is running a high fever and crying constantly. The medical check-ups haven’t helped. How should it be handled?
Answer
When a baby’s fever exceeds 38.5 degrees Celsius, please seek immediate medical confirmation of the cause. If it’s a viral infection, antiviral medication can be used; if it’s a bacterial infection, antibiotics should be administered. At the same time, ensure the baby drinks plenty of water and take antipyretic medication as directed by the doctor.
