Question
What should I do if my baby’s body temperature drops after fever?
Answer
A low body temperature in a baby after fever may be a normal part of self-regulation, but it could also indicate other health problems. It is recommended to first use alcohol for bathing to reduce the fever, then investigate the cause of the baby’s fever. The causes of fever are numerous, with the most common being infections, followed by connective tissue diseases, malignant tumors, and others. It is not advisable to rush into giving medication to the baby without identifying the cause.
