Question
How long does it take for a 1-year-old’s fever to subside?
Answer
There are many causes of a baby’s fever, which may include infections or other diseases. Before determining the cause, physical cooling methods such as alcohol rub can be used to help reduce the baby’s temperature. However, it is not advisable to rush to give medication, as drugs can only temporarily alleviate symptoms and not cure the underlying cause. Parents should take their baby to see a doctor to find out the cause of the fever and receive appropriate treatment.
