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. How can I quickly handle the baby's recurring fever?Doctor's answer:
The normal basal body temperature of a healthy child is between 36.9℃ and 37.5℃. Generally, when the body temperature exceeds the basal temperature by more than 1℃, it can be considered a fever. Among them, low-grade fever refers to a body temperature fluctuating around 38℃, and high fever is when the body temperature is above 39℃. Antibiotics and cold medicine are taken to regulate and treat the condition. Temporary use of fever-reducing medication is recommended for fever, along with drinking plenty of warm water. If the fever symptoms do not improve, it is advised to go to the hospital for intravenous drip treatment.
