Patient's question:
The baby has a fever at midnight, it's 39.5 degrees. Besides taking fever-reducing medicine, what else needs to be done? It had a fever of 38.2 in the afternoon. Is there any method to solve this?Doctor's answer:
I'm glad to serve you. The baby is now 1 year old, with a fever of 39.5 degrees, having a high fever. They have taken fever-reducing medication. It is recommended to give the baby more water, enhance care, and avoid wearing too much to prevent interference with heat dissipation. Physical cooling methods can be used, such as wiping the head, armpits, groin, and limbs with a warm, damp towel. The diet should be light. It is recommended to visit the hospital today for a thorough blood test to check what infection it is.
