Question
What should I do if my 8-month-old baby has a fever of 38.5 degrees?
Answer
Firstly, you can use alcohol wipes to reduce the baby’s body temperature, but it is more important to find out the cause of the fever. Fever can be caused by infections, but it could also be a symptom of other diseases such as connective tissue diseases or malignant tumors. It is not advisable to administer medication to the baby immediately without identifying the cause.
