Question
A two-month-old baby has a temperature of 37.4 degrees and is experiencing vomiting. Is this situation normal? What should parents do?
Answer
Based on the information you provided, a two-month-old baby’s temperature of 37.4 degrees is within the normal range. However, if the baby is also vomiting, it is advisable to take the baby to the hospital for a check-up to determine the cause of the vomiting. After feeding the baby, you can hold the baby upright and gently pat the back to help the baby burp, releasing air from the stomach, which can reduce the occurrence of vomiting. Additionally, you can consult with a doctor to learn how to feed the baby correctly and how to handle daily care issues for your baby.
