Question
My baby is premature, and recently, they have been experiencing facial fever and frequent crying. I am worried if it might be a sign of fever.
Answer
The baby’s condition may be due to fever caused by viral or other pathogenic infections. Since the thermoregulatory center in newborns is not fully developed, overheating can also lead to similar symptoms. It is recommended to take the baby to the doctor immediately to rule out the possibility of infections and other diseases, and to find the cause. At the same time, pay attention to the baby’s hygiene, avoid overheating, and provide adequate hydration.
