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. Can you please tell me how to treat a fever in a one-month-old baby?Doctor's answer:
Generally, it is recommended not to exceed 38 degrees Celsius, as medication is not necessary. Physical cooling methods can be used, such as applying alcohol to the body and washing the face and forehead with warm water. If the temperature exceeds 38 degrees Celsius, ibuprofen suspension or naproxen can usually be taken. There are many reasons for respiratory issues in children. If a child is diagnosed with a respiratory condition, parents need to cooperate with the doctor in active treatment, support gastrointestinal decompression, and develop good hygiene habits. The child should maintain a balanced diet and avoid stimulating and cold foods.
