Question
If an infant has a fever of 39 degrees, how can you determine if it’s caused by viral influenza? What should you do if the fever subsides overnight but starts again at 10 am, reaching 38 degrees?
Answer
Infant fever is an inflammatory response caused by infection. After confirming a viral infection, targeted treatment should be carried out under the guidance of a doctor. At the same time, daily protection should be ensured to avoid catching a cold, appropriately adjust clothing, reduce contact with susceptible individuals, and prevent repeated infections. Provide proper feeding and make adjustments in various aspects to promote a quick recovery.
