Question
My baby is six months old and has recently recovered from a fever, but they are still crying and restless, sleep anxietyly, and have a tendency to vomit. They also wake up suddenly while sleeping. What could be the reason?
Answer
The most common cause of fever in infants is various infections caused by viruses or bacteria, such as respiratory infections, gastrointestinal infections, or urinary tract infections, all of which can lead to fever. It is suggested that you give your child pediatric cold medicine and ibuprofen suspension and observe the effects. If the high fever persists or recurs, you should take the child to a regular hospital’s pediatric department immediately. The current situation may be related to gastrointestinal symptoms caused by viral infection, and it is advisable to seek active treatment in the pediatric department.
