How to treat a fever in a weaned child

Patient's question:

Today is the first day of weaning at night. I noticed something was wrong with the child and took their temperature, which was 38°C. I gave them fever-reducing medicine. Shortly after, the child fell asleep, and I took their temperature again, which was 37°C. An hour later, it was 38.5°C.

Doctor's answer:

Most cases of a baby's repeated fever are initial symptoms caused by bacterial infections. Currently, other symptoms have not yet manifested. It is recommended to give the baby more water, maintain a light and easily digestible diet, monitor temperature changes, and consider using fever-reducing medication if the temperature is below 38.5℃. This advice is for the question "How to deal with a child's fever when weaning at night on the first day?" and is hoped to be helpful to you. Wishing you good health!
