How to handle repeated fever in an eight-month-old baby

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-ups haven't helped. How should I handle a 8-month-old baby with recurrent fever?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, your baby suddenly developed a fever, and it's important to take them to the hospital for a blood test as soon as possible.
There are many possible causes of fever in babies, such as upper respiratory infections, viral infections, etc. Based solely on your description, it's difficult to make a definitive judgment. Since your baby is young, medication must be chosen carefully to avoid using the wrong or unnecessary drugs. At home, you can use lukewarm water to wipe your baby's body to help them cool down.
