Question

A 6-month-old baby cannot lift its head, can roll over, and has normal appetite, but occasionally shivers. Is a body temperature of 37.7°C considered fever?

Answer

Based on the described symptoms, it is primarily a low-grade fever caused by a virus and common cold manifestations. Treatment should be antiviral, and symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication can be taken along with ribavirin. It is important to drink plenty of water during treatment. Additionally, some anxiety and depression medications, beta-blockers, sedatives, or traditional Chinese medicine can be used together to accelerate and improve the treatment effect.
