Question
What should I do if my 1-year-8-month-old baby has a fever of 38.9 degrees?
Answer
Based on your description, your baby may have contracted a viral infection leading to fever. In this case, it is suggested to first administer Merck (Ibuprofen) to lower the body temperature for the baby, and at the same time, use ice patches to assist in cooling. Additionally, the baby’s diet should be kept light, avoiding spicy or irritating foods. Continue to monitor your baby’s condition, and seek medical attention promptly if needed.
