Question
An eight-month-old baby had a fever of 38.5 degrees two days ago and, after taking three doses of children’s paracetamol and chlorpheniramine granules, their body temperature dropped to 35.5 degrees and has remained so for two days. The parents are asking for advice on how to handle the situation and when the body temperature can return to normal.
Answer
If the body temperature is too low, it is important to actively keep warm and avoid continuing to take medication. If there are no other discomforts, you can take warming measures and provide an appropriate amount of water. Maintain a balanced diet, and the body temperature should gradually rise within a few days. I hope these suggestions are helpful to you, and wish you good health.
