How to handle a baby with a fever of 40 degrees

Patient's question:

These days, my boss said I'm not in good spirits and it's affecting my work performance. Actually, I didn't want to, either. I often can't sleep at night and sometimes feel anxious and uncomfortable. If it gets worse, I'm worried it will affect my health and work. Please ask, how should I handle it if the baby has a fever of 40 degrees?

Doctor's answer:

According to the symptoms you mentioned, it is likely a viral infection causing a cold and fever. You can take antiviral medication, and for fever reduction, you can initially take Tylenol. Then, seek medical attention for intravenous anti-inflammatory treatment and drink plenty of water. Pay attention to monitoring the condition. There are many causes of respiratory issues in children. If your child is diagnosed with a respiratory condition, parents need to cooperate with the doctor in active treatment, assist with gastrointestinal decompression, and develop good hygiene habits. Parents should be mindful not to let their child develop picky eating habits and ensure a balanced diet.
