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 should I treat a fever in an 8-month-old baby?Doctor's answer:
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 infection, followed by connective tissue diseases, malignant tumors, etc. Don't rush to take medication. It's possible that it could be acute bronchitis or pharyngitis. It is recommended to drink more water and avoid spicy and irritating foods. Take anti-inflammatory drugs such as Amoxicillin or Azithromycin, Bromhexine tablets, and Cough Suppressant. If necessary, go to the hospital for examination, diagnosis, and treatment.
