Question
The baby has been running a fever all day, with temperatures ranging from 39°C to 37°C. The fever subsides after taking fever-reducing medicine but rises again a few hours later. I’ve already given two doses of fever-reducing medicine today, and the current temperature is 39.3°C. The baby is also hiccuping and coughing slightly.
Answer
According to the test results, the baby may have an upper respiratory tract infection. It is recommended to use cold medicine and anti-inflammatory medication, and ensure the baby drinks plenty of water. Pay attention to rest and monitor temperature changes. Fever-reducing medication can be used when the temperature exceeds 38.5°C, but it should be administered every four to six hours.
