How to deal with a 8-month-old baby’s fever and vomiting

When a newborn shows signs of fever, parents should remain calm and first rule out common causes, closely observing the baby’s condition and seeking medical attention promptly if necessary.

In the early stages of a baby’s fever, symptoms may include a flushed face, a hot forehead, cold hands and feet, and a lack of energy. In addition, there may be systemic symptoms such as runny nose, sore throat, and cough when suffering from respiratory infections, or abdominal pain and vomiting with gastroenteritis. Hello, a baby’s fever is a common occurrence, usually caused by a cold. Since the child’s thermoregulatory center is not fully developed, they are easily affected by external factors and can cause fluctuations in body temperature. Generally, if the temperature does not exceed 38 degrees Celsius, it is not necessary to take antipyretic medication. Physical cooling methods can be primarily used, such as wiping the body with alcohol, washing the face and forehead with warm water. If the temperature exceeds 38 degrees Celsius, ibuprofen suspension or naproxen can usually be taken.
