Question
How should parents handle a baby’s intermittent fever over 38 degrees?
Answer
When a child’s body temperature exceeds 38.5 degrees, if it has been more than 6 hours since the last dose of fever-reducing medication, you can administer it again, such as Anruike. If it’s been less than 6 hours, you can opt for Tylenol to bring down the fever. At the same time, ensure the child drinks plenty of water to promote sweating and cooling down, or use a fever-reducing patch to assist in lowering the temperature. For premature infants, special attention should be paid to keeping them warm and observing them to help the baby adapt to life outside the womb.
