Question
Why does a child develop a fever of 38.5 degrees after waking up?
Answer
Hello, if your baby develops a fever upon waking up, it is advisable to have them undergo a routine blood test to determine whether the fever is caused by a viral or bacterial infection. Simply taking fever-reducing medication is not sufficient; it is recommended to use cefixime granules and ribavirin for treatment. Physical cooling methods can also be employed, along with ensuring plenty of water intake and using medical alcohol to cool down various parts of the baby’s body.
