Patient's question:
The baby has a fever of 38 degrees, sometimes it goes a bit higher, sometimes a bit lower. At night, there is a slight cough, occasionally one or two sounds. The bowel movements are normal. Can the baby take ibuprofen for the fever? What caused the fever. What to eat.Doctor's answer:
Generally, ibuprofen is taken when the body temperature is 38.5°C or higher to reduce fever. If the temperature is below 38.5°C, physical cooling methods can be used. These include applying fever reduction patches or taking a warm bath, as well as wiping the neck, armpits, and groin with warm water. Wait for at least 15 minutes. Most respiratory symptoms are usually caused by inflammation of the pharynx. If the fever recurs frequently, it is recommended to have a thorough blood test.
