Question
How should I help a four-month-old baby cool down if they have a fever?
Answer
Generally speaking, if a four-month-old baby has a fever and the body temperature does not exceed 38 degrees Celsius, medication is not necessary. At this time, physical cooling methods can be used, such as using alcohol to wipe the body, or using warm water to wipe the face and forehead. If the body temperature exceeds 38 degrees Celsius, consider giving the child ibuprofen suspension (such as Ibuprofen) or naproxen (such as Naproxen) to help cool down the fever. However, please note that these medications have certain usage methods and precautions, and it is recommended to use them under a doctor’s guidance.
