Patient's question:
Lately, my boss has said that I'm not in good spirits, which has affected my work performance. Actually, I didn't mean to, either. I often can't sleep at night, and sometimes I feel anxious and uncomfortable. If it gets worse, I'm worried it will affect my health and work.What should I do if my 8-month-old baby has a fever of around 38°C?
Doctor's answer:
The causes of fever in children are quite numerous and can be clinically categorized as infectious or non-infectious, with infectious causes being more common. Common infectious causes include colds. For fever, it is essential to first identify the underlying cause and then treat it accordingly. High temperatures can easily lead to febrile seizures in children, so it is necessary to control the body temperature. This is primarily achieved through medication and physical cooling methods.
