Patient's question:
My baby is a premature child, and I was very worried about the child's condition from the beginning. Recently, the child has appeared with this series of conditions, and I am also very worried, afraid that the child will get worse. How should I handle low fever in an eight-month-old baby?Doctor's answer:
The key is to identify the cause. Do not overuse medication for unknown low-grade fever, as it can lead to risks such as leukopenia and aplastic anemia. Antipyretic drugs should only be considered when the temperature is above 38°C. The child is threatened by neonatal diseases, so parents must take the child to the hospital for timely medical treatment and avoid blindly using advertisements for drugs. Rational medication is necessary. For parents, it is essential to provide the child with enough care and attention and to do everything possible to help the child receive timely medical treatment.
