Patient's question:
I don't know what's going on, but my child has been misbehaving and crying non-stop recently. Even the hospital check-up didn't help. Is a 37.8°C temperature considered a fever for a 7-month-old baby?Doctor's answer:
For low-grade fever, it is generally recommended not to exceed 38 degrees Celsius, and there is no need to take fever-reducing medication. Physical cooling methods can be primarily used, such as applying alcohol to the body or washing the face and forehead with lukewarm water.If the temperature exceeds 38 degrees Celsius, you can usually take ibuprofen suspension or naproxen. Hello, fever is generally caused by viral or bacterial infections. It is recommended to get a blood test to identify the cause and treat accordingly. If the fever is quite high and there is no fever-reducing medication available, you can use cold compresses to lower the temperature. Applying alcohol or lukewarm water can help reduce fever.
