Doctor's answer:
High fever is mostly caused by bacterial, viral, or mycoplasma infections. The main goal is to identify the pathogen. Common infections include respiratory tract infections and gastrointestinal tract infections. If the temperature is below 39°C, medication should be taken to reduce fever, such as Aricept. For high temperatures, physical cooling methods should be used. The above advice is for the question "My baby is 5 months old and had a high fever a few days ago." I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
