Question
What should I do if my 5-month-old baby has a fever of 37 degrees and a rumbling stomach?
Answer
When a baby has a fever, you can first use alcohol wipe bathing to help lower the temperature. However, fever is often a symptom of an infection or other issues within the body, so it’s most important to find out the cause. Possible causes include infections, connective tissue diseases, or malignant tumors. It’s not recommended to rush into medication before determining the cause. It’s advisable for parents to observe their baby’s condition and bring them to see a doctor as soon as possible for an accurate diagnosis and treatment.
