Question
The newborn started to have a fever last night. How should it be handled?
Answer
There are many reasons for newborn fever, which may be influenced by external factors such as hot weather, excessive clothing, insufficient water intake, or poor air circulation. If you notice that the newborn’s limbs are warm and they are sweating all over, you can reduce their clothing and wipe their entire body with warm water (about 37°C) to promote heat dissipation. If the symptoms persist or worsen, please seek medical attention immediately.
