Question
How should one handle a newborn’s fever to quickly reduce body temperature?
Answer
Based on your description, a newborn’s fever may be caused by catching a cold or viral infection. It is usually recommended to use physical cooling methods, such as removing clothing, using fever-reducing patches, or wiping the body with lukewarm water. Additionally, maintaining a warm environment, avoiding further exposure to cold, and promptly taking the baby to the hospital for examination and treatment are also very important. Before the baby sees a doctor, parents can help alleviate symptoms by regularly measuring body temperature, providing adequate fluids, and giving careful attention to the baby’s needs.
