Question
My baby, who is nine months old, has been running a fever since last night, and it’s still intermittent this morning. The fever hasn’t gone down at all. It’s been around 38 degrees Celsius since last night, and I’ve been using heat patches, but they haven’t helped. What should I do? Are there any quick ways to bring down the fever?
Answer
I’m sorry to hear that your baby is having a persistent fever. I suggest giving your baby oral ibuprofen suspension or acetaminophen for fever reduction. If the situation does not improve, it’s advisable to take your baby to the pediatric department of a hospital for a follow-up visit to receive professional diagnosis and treatment. Wishing your baby a speedy recovery!
