Question
What should I do if my baby’s fever medicine doesn’t seem to work?
Answer
When a baby has a fever and the fever medicine is ineffective, it may be necessary to consider the possibility of a cold. Common symptoms include coughing, phlegm, and fever. A temperature above 37 degrees Celsius can be confirmed as a fever. At this point, you can administer pediatric paracetamol and phenylephrine granules for treatment, and ensure the baby drinks plenty of water and stays warm. If the situation does not improve, intravenous therapy may be required.
