Question
Can a baby over one year old receive a fever-reducing injection?
Answer
When dealing with a baby over one year old who has a fever, it is recommended to first use alcohol-based sponge baths to help lower the temperature, while also identifying the cause of the fever. Fever can be caused by various factors, including infections, connective tissue diseases, and malignant tumors. It is advisable to avoid rushing to use medication to reduce the fever without first determining the cause. If the situation is severe, it is suggested to take the baby to the hospital for a check-up to receive professional medical advice and appropriate treatment.
