Question
Does a 6-month-old baby’s fever for three or four days affect the little brain?
Answer
A 6-month-old baby’s fever for three or four days usually has little impact on the brain. It is recommended to use physical methods of cooling when the body temperature does not exceed 38 degrees Celsius, such as wiping the body with alcohol, using warm water to wipe the face or forehead. If the body temperature exceeds 38 degrees Celsius, consider taking ibuprofen or naproxen to reduce the fever.
