Question

The baby has a fever of 39.2 degrees Celsius, and after using ibuprofen to lower the temperature, the fever recurs. The parents are asking how to handle the situation and whether it is caused by iron deficiency anemia.

Answer

The baby’s fever may be caused by a respiratory infection, not iron deficiency anemia. It is recommended to use other fever-reducing medications and consider using antibiotics to treat possible infections. Keep the room cool and avoid overheating. If the symptoms persist, it is advisable to take the baby to the doctor.
