Question
What should I do when my four-month-old baby has a fever and won’t drink water?
Answer
When a baby has a fever and is unwilling to drink water, you can try using alcohol compresses to help lower the temperature. However, this is only a temporary measure. It’s most important to find out the cause of the fever, which could be due to an infection or symptoms of other diseases such as connective tissue disorders or malignant tumors. It’s not advisable to administer medication without a clear diagnosis. It’s recommended that you take your baby to see a doctor for further examination and diagnosis.
