Question
My baby has a high fever of 38.8 degrees, and I don’t know what’s going on. They’ve been crying and fussing a lot lately, and we’ve gone to the hospital for checks without any results. What could be the cause?
Answer
Firstly, you can use alcohol-based wipes to help cool down your baby, then further investigate the cause of the fever. The crying and fussiness might be due to discomfort or pain, and the fever could be caused by an infection, or possibly other reasons such as connective tissue disease or malignant tumors. It is not recommended to rush into medication before determining the cause. It is suggested that parents closely monitor their child’s condition, and if symptoms do not improve, seek medical attention again.
