Question
This month-old baby has a fever of 38.5°C but no other symptoms, what should be done?
Answer
Hello, a baby with a fever may indicate an infection or other issues. Generally, medication is not recommended if the temperature does not exceed 38.5°C. If it does, you can use fever-reducing medications such as ibuprofen suspension or Xiao Chaihu, Mei Lin, and so on, in combination with amoxicillin or cefalexin antibacterial drugs for treatment. Pay attention to staying hydrated and maintaining warmth, and avoid irritants.
