Question

How should I handle a 2-week-old baby with a fever?

Answer

When a baby has a fever, it’s important to first check their temperature. If the temperature is below 38.5 degrees Celsius, consider the following steps:

  1. Provide adequate fluids to keep the baby well-hydrated.
  2. Pay attention to the environmental temperature and avoid overheating the baby.
  3. Monitor the baby’s condition and seek medical attention promptly if the temperature rises or other symptoms appear.
