Patient's question:
My mom hasn't been able to cook recently and often says she has a headache and feels dizzy. The key is that I don't really know what's going on, but I just see that she isn't doing well. How should I treat a baby with diarrhea and persistent fever?Doctor's answer:
Most cases of fever in babies are caused by bacterial, viral, or mycoplasma infections. The main goal is to identify the pathogen. Common infections include upper respiratory tract infections and gastrointestinal infections. It is recommended to lower the temperature. If the fever exceeds 39°C, medication should be taken to reduce it, such as Aricept. For extremely high temperatures, physical cooling methods should be used. At seven months old, a fever of 36.9°C is within the normal range, and the baby is not in any danger. No treatment is needed, but the baby's condition should be closely monitored.
