Patient's question:
A four-and-a-half-month-old baby had a fever yesterday and has been going to the hospital and taking medicine since then. This morning, it was gradually cooling down and going back, but at noon, as soon as it entered the house, it started having a high fever again. Now it's 39.2.Doctor's answer:
The baby is over four months old and has a fever with a high temperature of 39 degrees Celsius. There is a higher possibility of viral transmission, and attention should also be paid to the possibility of urinary tract infection in girls, which may manifest as high fever. You can start by taking oral fever-reducing medication, such as acetaminophen, and apply physical cooling measures (such as warm water bathing). If the baby is in good spirits and the temperature can gradually rise, you can continue taking oral medication. If the high fever persists and the baby's condition is poor, it is necessary to go to the hospital for a check-up.This is the advice for the question "What should I do if my four-and-a-half-month-old baby has a fever from yesterday?" I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
