Question
What should I do if my 7-month-old baby has a fever every few days?
Answer
A fever in a baby can be caused by an infection. If the temperature does not exceed 38.5 degrees Celsius, fever-reducing medication may not be necessary. If it does exceed 38.5 degrees Celsius, you can use ibuprofen suspension or other fever-reducing medications like Shao He Gan Shao, Meilin, etc., along with amoxicillin or cefalosporin antibiotics for treatment. At the same time, make sure the baby drinks plenty of water, maintain warmth, and avoid irritating the baby. If the situation does not improve, it is advisable to take the baby to see a doctor as soon as possible.
