Question
Lately, my boss has been saying I’m not myself, which is affecting my work performance. In reality, I don’t want to be like this either; I can’t sleep at night, and sometimes I feel anxious and uncomfortable. If it gets worse, I’m worried it might affect my health and work. What should I do if my 14-month-old baby has a fever of 38 degrees?
Answer
Fever in children is usually caused by infection. Treatment should be determined based on the child’s symptoms, such as whether there are other symptoms like coughing. You can give the baby naproxen to relieve the fever. If the baby has milk residue in their stool, especially if they are on formula milk, this may be a sign of indigestion, possibly due to improper mixing of the formula, causing the milk to be too thick. It should not be assumed that the thicker the milk is mixed, the more nutritious it will be; you should follow the recommended feeding quantities as suggested in the instructions when preparing formula milk. Both too thin and too thick are not good. You can give the baby some mother’s love to regulate their digestion.
