Question
My 5-month-old baby is currently feverish and has cold limbs. What could be the reason? What should I do for the baby who is currently feverish? (Previous treatment situation and effectiveness: caused by cough; treatment done: nebulizer therapy; assistance sought: how to cool down?)
Answer
Your child’s fever and cold limbs may require further diagnosis and treatment. You should immediately take the child to a nearby authorized medical facility for temperature measurement and a detailed examination. If the body temperature is abnormally high, it may be necessary to use antipyretic medication. During this time, ensure that the child is adequately hydrated. Consider giving your child anti-inflammatory medication such as cefixime, and using a fever-reducing patch.
