Question
What should I do if my 3-month-old baby has a fever of 38.5 degrees?
Answer
Considering it may be caused by a cold, which typically accompanies symptoms such as coughing, phlegm production, and fever. If the temperature exceeds 37 degrees, it is considered a fever, and you can give your child acetaminophen and guaifenesin granules to treat it, while also ensuring they stay hydrated and warm. If the situation does not improve, consider intravenous fluid therapy.
