Patient's question:
Now my baby still has a fever of 39 degrees.1 Just took fever-reducing medicine when it was 38 degrees.2 It's been an hour now, and it's still 39 degrees.1 What should I do? November 5, 2011 morning fever nowDoctor's answer:
Don't hurry when your baby has a fever. You can use physical cooling methods to lower the temperature. Pay close attention to why your baby is feeling hot and check for any signs of inflammation, coughing, nausea, vomiting, or sore throat. These are the main symptoms to look for. Many low-grade fevers are caused by a slight increase in temperature. If there are no other discomforts, and it's just a cold with fever, it's recommended to use physical cooling methods. Apply a damp towel to the forehead to protect the brain. You can also use alcohol or wine to wipe the body for physical cooling. When using physical cooling methods, the temperature must be controlled at 38 degrees.
