Doctor's answer:
According to your description, the condition of your baby has already taken fever-reducing medication, so it is not recommended to give the baby medication again. It is suggested to apply physical cooling methods to the baby. You can use a towel dipped in warm water to wipe the baby's body, especially the armpits, groin, inner thighs, palms, and soles of the feet. As long as the baby's temperature does not rise too sharply, there is no need to be too anxious. Take the baby to the hospital for a thorough examination tomorrow. The above advice is for the question "My son has a fever of 38.5 degrees and has taken medicine for 2 hours, but..." I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
