Patient's question:
A 6-month-old baby cannot lift their head, can roll over, and has a normal appetite, with no other significant abnormalities, but sometimes they shake. How can I improve the condition if the baby has a fever of 39 degrees, and what are the methods to reduce the temperature?Doctor's answer:
Prepared a thermometer to measure body temperature at any time when sick. Don't take medicine casually. When the temperature reaches 38.5 degrees, use medicine according to specifications, such as Motrin or Tylenol. It's also important to combine it with physical cooling methods, such as applying cold towels to the forehead, using warm water to dilute baijiu and intermittently wipe the back of the ears, palms, soles of the feet, and armpits. Additionally, don't wrap clothes too tightly. Also, drink more warm water during this period. When a child has a fever, fluid loss needs to be replenished. Even if they don't cooperate, find a way. Adults must be patient.
