Question

The 8-month-old baby cannot lift its head but can roll over, has normal appetite, and has no other abnormal symptoms, but it occasionally shivers. Can an 8-month-old baby use Anaphrox when it has a fever?

Answer

Anaphrox should not be given to an 8-month-old baby as this medication has almost been discontinued and has significant side effects. If the baby’s body temperature is below 38 degrees, physical cooling methods can be used; if the temperature is high, it is recommended to take the baby to the hospital for a check-up and follow the doctor’s advice for treatment. Additionally, the baby’s symptoms may be related to tic disorder, and it is suggested to go to the hospital for a check-up and follow the doctor’s instructions for treatment. Oral Vitamin B1 and carbamazepine can be taken for treatment, and if the symptoms are not severe, treatment can be postponed while focusing on nutrition and increased water intake.
