Question

What should I do if my 6-month-old and 9-day-old baby has a fever of 38.5°C?

Answer

Hello, based on your description, it’s common for infants to have fevers that can lead to vomiting. I suggest you go to the hospital to buy some fever-reducing medication, noting that the dosage is one-fourth of an adult’s amount. You can initially try physical cooling methods, such as cold compresses with a towel, and ensure plenty of water intake, as well as adequate rest. That should do the trick.
