Patient's question:
A 6-month-old baby cannot lift their head, can roll over, has a normal appetite, and shows no significant abnormalities, but sometimes they shake. How should the baby be cared for when they have 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 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. We know that pediatric neurology diseases can cause great harm to children. If they are not treated in time or if the treatment methods are incorrect, the condition can progress rapidly and bring great harm to the child. Therefore, parents should pay close attention to their child's condition and take them for treatment promptly.
