Question
A six-month-old baby is unable to lift its head but can roll over, has normal appetite, and shows no other abnormal symptoms. It occasionally trembles. How should one handle a child’s fever?
Answer
When dealing with a child’s fever, one can initially use alcohol-based sponge baths to lower the body temperature, then identify the cause of the fever. The causes of fever are varied, with the most common being infection, followed by connective tissue diseases and malignant tumors, among others. It is not recommended to rush into medication treatment before determining the cause. We know that pediatric neurological diseases can have a significant impact on children. If not treated promptly or with inappropriate treatment methods, the condition can rapidly worsen, posing serious harm to the child. Therefore, it is crucial to seek immediate treatment at a professional hospital.
