How to handle infant viral fever

Patient's question:

These days, my boss said I'm not in good spirits and it's affecting my work performance. Actually, I didn't mean to, either. I often can't sleep at night, sometimes feel anxious and uncomfortable. If it gets worse, I'm worried it might affect my health and work. How should I handle a baby with viral fever?

Doctor's answer:

Multiple considerations suggest infectious fever, which may be caused by viral or bacterial infections. Physical cooling methods should be adopted, such as applying cold compresses to the forehead. If the temperature exceeds 38.5°C, medication like ibuprofen suspension can be used for fever reduction.
There are many factors that can affect the pediatric respiratory system. If the child is confirmed to have a respiratory condition, parents need to cooperate with the doctor for immediate treatment, including gastrointestinal decompression, and develop good hygiene habits. Parents should pay attention not to develop picky eating habits in children and ensure a balanced diet.
