Patient's question:
A 6-month-old baby cannot lift their head, can roll over, has a normal appetite, and shows no significant abnormalities, but sometimes they shake. Is a temperature of 38.5°C a fever?Doctor's answer:
Two situations that cause fever have completely different treatment methods. If it is a bacterial infection, as long as the right antibiotic is chosen, the treatment will be very effective. If it is a viral infection, there is currently no specific medicine available. You can take Viralyst, Banlangen granules, honeysuckle, etc. Fever caused by viral infection will naturally decrease after a certain period of time. It is crucial not to take medicine blindly just because of fever, and it is necessary to go to the hospital for examination when needed.
