How to Handle a Six-Month-Old Baby’s Fever?
A baby boy, a few months old, has been running a fever recently. It’s the kind of fever that subsides for a moment and then returns. He eats dinner normally but cries constantly. How should one handle a six-month-old baby’s fever? The baby has a low-grade fever and doesn’t need antipyretics at the moment. Encourage the baby to drink more water, observe carefully, and the baby doesn’t need antipyretics as low-grade fever has a protective effect for babies, indicating their own fight against bacteria and viruses. Monitor the baby’s body temperature closely; only use antipyretics if the temperature exceeds 38.5 degrees. Patients should seek immediate and systematic examinations at a regular Grade A hospital based on their condition to receive targeted treatment and recover quickly.
