Question
What should I do if my baby still has a fever after taking ibuprofen?
Answer
If a baby continues to have a fever after taking ibuprofen, you can use alcohol-based body wipes to help lower the temperature and further investigate the cause of the fever. The cause of fever may include infections, connective tissue diseases, malignant tumors, and so on. You should not rush to use medication before determining the cause. If the situation is suspected to be caused by a cold, oral cold medication, antibiotics, antiallergic drugs, and antiviral medications may be needed for treatment. It is advisable to strengthen physical activity and build up the immune system, and avoid consuming spicy, alcoholic, cold, and other irritating foods.
