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. Could you please tell me how to reduce the fever when the baby has a fever?Doctor's answer:
Hello, if your baby has a fever but it doesn't exceed 38.5 degrees, there's no need to worry too much. Make sure to give your baby plenty of water, and you can use physical cooling methods to lower the temperature. Wipe your baby's entire body with lukewarm water, and use a towel dipped in lukewarm water to wipe their palms and soles. This can also help reduce fever. The symptoms are likely caused by a respiratory infection due to a cold. It's important to take cold medicine, anti-inflammatory medicine, and cough medicine actively. I recommend taking Hutan Granules or Xiaokaku, along with the anti-inflammatory medicine Cefixime Granules and Xianzhuli Oral Liquid. Rest and drink plenty of plain water. Take fever-reducing medicine if you have a fever.
