Question
What should I do if my four-month-old baby has a fever of 38 degrees?
Answer
Hello, considering the possibility of a cold, symptoms usually include coughing, expectoration, and fever. The measured body temperature does not need to be increased by 0.5 degrees; anything over 37 degrees is considered a fever. You can treat it with children’s paracetamol and chlorpheniramine granules, drink plenty of water, and ensure warmth is maintained. In necessary cases, intravenous treatment can be considered.
