Question

How should parents handle a 10-month-old baby who has a fever due to a cold?

Answer

Fever is one of the common symptoms in children. When a child has a fever, parents should remain calm and not panic. If the body temperature exceeds 38.5 degrees Celsius, it is recommended to take oral fever-reducing medication such as ibuprofen and seek medical attention promptly for blood tests and other relevant examinations to determine the cause. Depending on the severity of the condition and the results of the examination, choose the appropriate treatment method under the guidance of a doctor.
