Question
My baby is nine months old and has been hospitalized with a high fever for about 8-9 days. How should I handle this?
Answer
During your child’s hospital stay, pay close attention to their condition and maintain close contact with the doctor. To prevent infection, ensure the hospital environment is clean and follow the doctor’s instructions for appropriate antibiotic treatment. If your child has a fever, you can use fever-reducing medication like ibuprofen suspension, along with a sedative to prevent seizures. The sedative can be luminal sodium. After discharge, remember to continue monitoring your child’s health status and maintain environmental hygiene to reduce the risk of infection.
