Question
How should a 9-month-old baby with a low fever be treated?
Answer
A baby’s fever may be caused by functional issues or infections, so it’s important to take the child to the hospital for a re-examination to confirm the diagnosis and receive treatment. Meanwhile, ensure the baby drinks plenty of water and monitor the condition. If the body temperature exceeds 38.5 degrees Celsius, you can use ibuprofen or paracetamol to reduce the fever, along with physical cooling treatment (cooling therapy).
