What should I do if the baby's back has a temperature of 38.1℃ measured with a thermometer?

Patient's question:

A one-and-a-half-month-old baby, with a temperature of 38.1℃ measured with a thermometer, what should I do?

Doctor's answer:

Children can be treated with children's cold medicine, ibuprofen suspension, cefixime, and Qingkailing granules. If the fever persists, alcohol bathing can be used as a treatment option. It is also important to seek medical attention as soon as possible for a thorough examination of the cause and for symptomatic treatment. There are many reasons that can cause respiratory issues in children. If a child is diagnosed with a respiratory condition, parents need to cooperate with the doctor for timely treatment, including gastric decompression, and to develop good hygiene habits. Parents should pay attention not to develop picky eating habits in their children and ensure a balanced diet.
