Question
What should I do when my 8-month-old baby keeps repeatedly feeling feverish?
Answer
It is recommended to use fever-reducing medication while also adding antiviral drugs such as ribavirin granules or antiviral oral liquid; if it is a bacterial infection, add cefalosporin antibiotics for treatment. Urge the child to drink warm water and be attentive to the efficacy time of the fever-reducing medication, which is generally around 4-6 hours. Monitor the child’s body temperature and use fever-reducing medication again if the fever reaches 38.5℃.
