Patient's question:
I don't know what's going on, but my child has been misbehaving lately and crying non-stop. Even the hospital check-up didn't help. How should I care for a baby with a fever of 40 degrees?Doctor's answer:
Hello, your child has a fever, which is usually caused by bacterial or viral infections. It's best to check a blood test to see if the fever is high. If the temperature is above 38.5°C, you can first use safe and low-side-effect fever-reducing medication. Drink more water, use physical cooling methods, prevent convulsions, and lower the temperature before going to the hospital for treatment during the day. There are many factors that can cause respiratory issues in children. If your child is confirmed to have a respiratory system problem, parents need to cooperate with the doctor for immediate treatment, cooperate with gastrointestinal decompression, and develop good hygiene habits. The child needs a balanced diet and should avoid stimulating and cold foods.
