Question
What should I do if my baby has a fever of 39 degrees Celsius? Can applying egg white help reduce the fever?
Answer
Babies with a fever may have an infection, and if the temperature does not exceed 38.5 degrees Celsius, physical cooling methods can be used. If it does exceed that, medications like ibuprofen suspension or Shao Gao, Meilin, and other fever-reducing drugs can be administered, along with symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication and amoxicillin or cephalosporin antibacterial drugs. Additionally, staying hydrated is important for temperature regulation, and precautions should be taken to maintain warmth.
