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. What could be the reason for the child's recurrent fever?Doctor's answer:
Hello, fever in children is a common phenomenon, usually caused by a cold. Since children's thermoregulatory centers are not yet fully developed, they are easily affected by external factors, leading to fluctuations in body temperature. Generally, it is recommended not to exceed 38 degrees Celsius, and fever-reducing medication is not necessary. Physical cooling methods should be the primary approach, such as applying alcohol for bathing and washing the face and forehead with warm water. If the temperature exceeds 38 degrees Celsius, ibuprofen suspension or naproxen can usually be taken.
