Question
The baby has had a fever for two days. The fever subsides during the day but persists at around 38.5 degrees at night. How should I handle this situation?
Answer
Nighttime fevers in infants are a common occurrence. Parents should promptly measure the temperature and take physical measures to cool the baby down, combined with fever-reducing medication. At the same time, they should pay attention to any symptoms of upper respiratory tract infection and, if necessary, undergo anti-inflammatory and antiviral treatment. Ensure adequate rest and plenty of hydration. I hope these suggestions are helpful to you, and wish your baby good health!
