Why do babies often have fever

Patient's question:

My baby is a premature child. I was very worried about the child's condition from the beginning. Recently, the child has appeared with this series of conditions, and I am also very worried, afraid that the child will get worse. Please ask why the baby often has a fever

Doctor's answer:

Generally, it is recommended not to exceed 38 degrees Celsius, as medication for fever is not necessary. Physical cooling methods can be used as the primary approach, such as applying alcohol to the body or washing the face and forehead with warm water. If the temperature exceeds 38 degrees Celsius, ibuprofen suspension or naproxen can usually be taken. If the child is threatened by neonatal diseases, parents must take the child to seek medical treatment immediately to avoid blindly using over-the-counter medications. Rational medication is essential. For parents, it is important to promptly monitor the child's condition and do their best to help the child receive timely treatment for the illness.
