It is below 38.5 degrees, do not take fever-reducing medicine, do not get a fever-reducing shot, and the baby should drink more water.Suggestions: Please immediately have the doctor diagnose whether it is a viral infection or a bacterial infection. If it is a viral infection, use antiviral medication (e.g., ribavirin). If it is a bacterial infection, use antibiotics (e.g., cephalosporins). Do not rush to reduce the fever. Fever is just a symptom; the underlying cause needs to be identified.
