Question
What should be done when a four-month-old baby keeps on having a fever?
Answer
For children who frequently have fevers, it’s important to consider symptoms that may be caused by infectious diseases. After a diagnosis of viral fever, timely symptomatic treatment should be initiated. It is recommended to use anti-fever medications and ensure the child gets adequate rest and hydration. Under the guidance of a doctor, symptomatic antibiotic treatment such as cefixime may be necessary. During acute fever, ibuprofen can be used to reduce the fever.
