Patient's question:
These days, my boss said I'm not in good spirits, which has affected my work performance. Actually, I didn't mean to, either. I often can't sleep at night, and sometimes feel anxious and uncomfortable. If it gets worse, I'm worried it might affect my health and work. How should I treat a fever in a 5-month-old baby?Doctor's answer:
Hello, fever in children is a common phenomenon, usually caused by colds. Since children's thermoregulatory centers are not yet fully developed, they are easily affected by external factors, leading to fluctuations in body temperature. Generally, it is recommended not to exceed 38 degrees Celsius, and fever-reducing medication is not necessary. Physical cooling methods can be primarily used, such as alcohol rubs and warm water washing on the face and forehead. If the temperature exceeds 38 degrees Celsius, ibuprofen suspension or naproxen can generally be taken.
