Patient's question:
I don't know what's going on, but my child has been misbehaving lately and crying non-stop. Even the hospital check-up didn't help. How can I treat a baby with fever?Doctor's answer:
If the baby's fever is below 38.5 degrees, it's best not to give them fever-reducing medication. Instead, try to help them cool down by using a warm towel to wipe their forehead, limbs, etc. Let them lie flat and avoid holding them too much, as this also helps with cooling down. If the fever reaches 38.5 degrees or higher, you can give them children's fever-reducing medication. There are many factors that can cause respiratory issues in children. If the child is confirmed to have a respiratory problem, parents need to cooperate with the doctor in active treatment, follow gastrointestinal decompression, and develop good hygiene habits. Parents should pay attention not to let the child develop picky eating habits and maintain a balanced diet.
