Patient's question:
I don't know what's going on, but my child has been misbehaving and crying non-stop recently. Even the hospital check-up didn't help. May I ask if it's okay to insert medication into the buttocks for fever?Doctor's answer:
You can feed the baby some warm water, trying to make it as hot as possible without scalding the baby. Apply a cool towel to the head and change it regularly. Use a warm towel to wipe areas with major blood vessels on the skin, such as the neck, armpits, and groin, until the skin turns slightly red for effective heat dissipation. If the body temperature exceeds 38.5 degrees, use physical cooling methods while following the doctor's guidance to appropriately use fever reducers like Tylenol or Motrin.
