How to treat high body temperature in babies

Patient's question:

About two and a half months ago, the baby had slightly elevated body temperature, which lasted for a long time. I wanted to ask if it could be leukemia, but there were no other symptoms. I'm not sure if it's leukemia, but after more than two and a half months, there are still no other symptoms. Could it be that the possibility of leukemia can be basically ruled out? (I personally speculate that if it were really leukemia, after two and a half months, there should be no symptoms at all.)

Doctor's answer:

I'm glad to help clarify this for you. How high was the baby's temperature two and a half months ago? Leukemia is not just a symptom of feeling hot; it also includes symptoms such as anemia, skin rashes, and liver/spleen enlargement. Based on your description, there doesn't seem to be a major issue. I recommend you continue to monitor closely, and if necessary, you can have a blood test done.
This is the advice for the question "How should I treat a baby who had slightly high temperature about two and a half months ago?" I hope it helps you, and wish you good health!
