Question
A 10-month-old baby has been repeatedly experiencing fever. After taking ibuprofen, the body temperature dropped to 35.5°C. Yesterday, the baby sweat a lot, and today the body temperature started to fluctuate between 35.5°C and 35.8°C, now at 36.3°C. The baby is burping, has a runny nose, and feels cold in the hands and feet. What’s going on? Does the body temperature need further examination?
Answer
Based on the description, the baby’s current body temperature is normal. It is recommended to drink more water and closely monitor the temperature. Common causes of fever in children include viral and bacterial infections. If the body temperature rises repeatedly and the child’s mental state is poor, it is advisable to seek medical attention promptly. I hope these suggestions are helpful to you, and wish you health!
