Question

What is the normal body temperature for a child? My child is over four months old and had a high fever a few days ago, but has since recovered and gone home. Now, the child has a slight fever again with a temperature of 38.1 degrees. Do I need to go to the hospital immediately? Besides, does a baby’s fever during teething have anything to do with it? If it’s due to teething, could a temperature of over 38 degrees be related…

Answer

The fever should still be related to the fever itself, not at all related to teething. In this situation, antipyretic treatment should be administered; otherwise, the condition may worsen. It is recommended to use amoxicillin granules, Huitong granules, and Tianhuang Houguosan for treatment, while also drinking plenty of water to facilitate the complete recovery from the illness.
