Question
Can a baby over one year old use a rectal fever reducer at 38.5 degrees Celsius?
Answer
Pay attention to the baby’s general condition, such as spirit, appetite, bowel movements, and sleep. If the general condition is good and the body temperature is below 38.5 degrees Celsius, physical cooling is sufficient. It is both safe and effective, and there is no need to use a fever reducer. The medication is potent and can easily lead to dehydration and damage to the rectum.
