Question
What is the normal body temperature for a child? My baby is 4 months old and had a high fever a few days ago, but she’s back home now. She has a slight fever again these two days, and her temperature just measured at 38.1 degrees. Should I go to the hospital immediately? Besides, isn’t it common for children to have a bit of fever when they are teething? If it’s due to teething, could a temperature of over 38 degrees be related…
Answer
It should still be related to the fever, not at all connected to teething. The situation should be treated with anti-fever measures; otherwise, the illness might worsen. I suggest using amoxicillin granules, Huitong granules, and Tianhuang Houguo Suanzao powder for treatment. At the same time, it’s important to drink plenty of water to facilitate a complete recovery from the illness.
