Question
A 2-month-old baby had a fever of 38 degrees Celsius. After using fever-reducing patches and suppositories, the fever did not subside within 3 hours. Subsequently, ibuprofen suspension and physical cooling were administered, and the temperature dropped to 37.5 degrees Celsius 30 minutes later. The next morning, the body temperature was 36.5 degrees Celsius, and in the afternoon it was 37.1 degrees Celsius, followed by 37.5 degrees Celsius in the evening. Do we need to focus on bringing down the fever? Can the baby drink high-sugar drinks?
