Question

The baby has been feverish since yesterday afternoon. What will happen if he takes medicine?

Answer

The main cause of fever is usually diseases such as respiratory infections, meningitis, and urinary tract infections. Therefore, it is important to find out the cause of the fever in a timely manner and take targeted medication to bring down the fever. If the body temperature is unstable, it indicates that the disease has not fully recovered; once the disease is fully cured, the fever will subside. Increase clothing and bedding. Drink plenty of hot water. Always keep the air circulating and maintain a room temperature of 26 to 28 degrees Celsius. Do not take over-the-counter medication on your own. Monitor the child’s body temperature changes at all times. If the fever is accompanied by the following conditions, you should immediately take the child to the hospital.
