Question
How to handle a baby with a fever of 40 degrees?
Answer
When a baby’s body temperature exceeds 38.5 degrees, immediate administration of antipyretic medication is required. In treatment, maintain a light diet and avoid consuming irritating food. Additionally, consider administering antiviral medication and continuously monitor the baby’s temperature changes. If the temperature drops, discontinue the use of antipyretic medication. If the situation does not improve, it is recommended to return to the hospital for further examination and treatment based on the doctor’s professional advice.
