How to treat fever and cold in babies

Patient's question:

How to deal with a cold and fever in a small baby

Doctor's answer:

When a baby has a cold and fever, you can give them Children's Paracetamol and Chlorpheniramine Granules, Four Seasons Antiviral Oral Liquid. If the fever exceeds 38.5°C, you can apply Motrin Cold Relief Patches for the baby. It's important to drink more warm water, and you can use alcohol to wipe the forehead, armpits, and neck.
For low-grade fever, you can use physical cooling methods. Drinking more water and frequent urination can help remove some heat. Taking a warm bath or applying cold compresses can also help. Use fever-reducing patches as needed.
If the temperature is above 38.5°C, you can give the baby oral fever-reducing medication, such as Motrin or Tylenol. If the fever persists for 2–3 days without improvement, it's important to seek medical attention. A blood test and CRP check should be done to determine the type of infection.
