Question

Parents inquire about how to determine if a baby has sequelae after a high fever, as family members are experiencing dizziness, headaches, and poor mental state, worrying that the fever might have caused an impact.

Answer

The likelihood of complications from short-term high fever is relatively low, and if the baby currently shows no abnormal symptoms, there is no need for additional checks. It is recommended to use physical cooling methods, such as using fever-reducing patches and wiping the baby’s entire body with warm water, and ensuring the baby stays well-hydrated. If the baby’s mental state remains good, it usually indicates that the situation is not severe. Parents should not over-worry but should closely monitor and seek medical attention as needed.
