It's been almost 12 hours now.
What kind of assistance is needed: My baby is almost 9 months old. What should I do if his low fever hasn't broken after 12 hours?
Doctor's answer:

The reasons for persistent low fever vary depending on the duration of the fever and the child's age, including lung infections, contagious high fever, such as the most common severe fever, tuberculosis, typhoid, HIV, blood system diseases, central nervous system diseases, etc. Only symptomatic treatment is required. There are many reasons that can cause a baby to have a high fever, such as "viral infections, high blood counts, and so on." It is recommended to go to the hospital for further and more detailed examination.
