Baby has a fever of 39.5, what should I do?

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. What should I do if the baby has a fever of 39.5?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, your child's fever may be related to infections or other inflammatory conditions. If there are conditions such as tonsillitis or pharyngitis, these are the most common causes of fever in children, and they are not significantly related to other factors. In your case, you can first use alcohol to bathe for fever reduction, and then identify the cause of the fever. There are many reasons that can cause fever, the most common being infections, followed by connective tissue diseases, malignant tumors, and so on. Don't rush to take medication first.
