Can a four-month-old baby drink glucose after taking fever-reducing medicine?

Patient's question:

These days, my boss said I'm not in good spirits, which has affected my work performance. Actually, I didn't want to, either. I often can't sleep at night, sometimes feeling anxious and uncomfortable. If it gets worse, I'm worried it will affect my health and work. Please ask if a four-month-old baby can take fever-reducing medicine and drink glucose.

Doctor's answer:

The causes of fever in children are quite numerous and can be clinically categorized as infectious or non-infectious, with infectious causes being more common. Common infectious causes include colds. For fever, it is essential to first identify the underlying cause and then treat it accordingly. High body temperature can easily lead to febrile seizures in children, so it is necessary to control the temperature.
The causes of endocrine diseases in children are also varied. If a child is diagnosed with an endocrine disease, parents need to cooperate with the doctor in active treatment, including gastric decompression, and develop good hygiene habits. The child should maintain a balanced diet and avoid stimulating and cold foods.
