Question
What should be done if an 8-month-old baby has a persistent high fever?
Answer
It is recommended for parents to give the baby plenty of water, avoid catching a cold, and increase the intake of fruits and vegetables. Additionally, it is best to undergo a routine blood test. If the white blood cell count is elevated, it may indicate a bacterial infection, and intravenous ceftriaxone sodium, Yanhuning, and oral Tylenol can be administered. If the white blood cell count is normal, intravenous ribavirin and Chuanhuning can be given, along with oral Tylenol. We hope the baby recovers soon.
