Question
The baby is eight months old and suddenly developed a fever three days ago, with a temperature of around 38 degrees. The temperature is lower during the day and rises to nearly 39 degrees at night. They have taken drugs like Bupleurum Granules, but the effect is not significant. No hospital check-up has been done yet. The baby’s condition is relatively good, but the temperature has not dropped. Should you take them to the hospital immediately?
Answer
Based on your description, your baby may have caught a cold due to catching a chill, leading to a decrease in their body’s resistance and subsequent bacterial or viral infection. Common symptoms include fever and runny nose. It is recommended that you give your baby oral Eucommia Ulmoides Extract and Ribavirin Granules, drink plenty of water, use small Anruike for fever reduction, eat a light and easy-to-digest diet, avoid spicy, cold, hard, and other irritating foods, and keep warm to prevent catching a chill again. If the symptoms persist or worsen, it is advisable to take your baby to the hospital for a check-up to receive professional diagnosis and treatment.
