Question

My baby is seven weeks and one day old and has a slight fever of 38 degrees. What can I do to bring down the fever? The temperature was 37.5 degrees last night, and it has increased today. What should I do?

Answer

A baby’s fever is typically caused by infectious diseases. It’s necessary to undergo a detailed examination to identify the specific cause of the infection. It is recommended to undergo medical treatment after determining the cause, and avoid self-medication. If the temperature is below 38.5 degrees, you can take fever-reducing medication and promptly visit the pediatric clinic for a follow-up.
