Question
My baby is 9 months old and has a slight fever today, with a body temperature of 37.8 degrees. The baby is feeding normally but has a bit of coughing. What should I do?
Answer
Hello! Based on the description, your baby may be experiencing symptoms of fever and mild cough. It is recommended to give your baby plenty of water to stay hydrated. At the same time, you can give your baby some fever-reducing medication, such as acetaminophen or ibuprofen, to relieve discomfort. Additionally, maintain good ventilation and appropriate temperature in the room, avoiding both overheating and excessive coldness to help your baby feel more comfortable. If your baby’s symptoms do not improve or worsen, it is advisable to take your baby to see a doctor promptly.
