Question
What should I do if a newborn has a fever? Are there any quick ways to reduce the fever?
Answer
When a newborn has a fever, you can initially try alcohol-based sponge baths to help reduce the temperature. However, this is only a temporary measure. It’s more important to identify the cause of the fever. Fever can be caused by various factors, including infections, connective tissue diseases, or malignant tumors. Do not rush to use medication before determining the cause. It is recommended to observe the situation and seek medical professional assistance as soon as possible for a detailed examination and appropriate treatment.
