Question
The 8-month-old baby keeps having recurrent fevers without knowing the cause. Lately, the child has been very fussy, and even after taking them to the hospital for checks, no issues were found. What could be the reason for this?
Answer
You can give the child Cefalexin granules and Simeticon, and if the body temperature exceeds 38.5 degrees, you can administer fever-reducing medicine like Merck. If it’s below 38.5 degrees, use physical cooling methods. At the same time, reduce the milk intake and switch to millet congee; only drink the soup without eating the millet, which helps restore the child’s gastrointestinal tract. After taking these measures, the child should recover quickly. Remember not to give the child spicy or irritating foods during this period.
