Patient's question:
What kinds of diseases can pediatric surgery treat, and which symptoms belong to pediatric internal medicine? Why do babies not have a fever during the day but have a fever at night?Doctor's answer:
It could be caused by a viral or bacterial infection. Physical cooling methods are often used, such as applying cold compresses to the forehead. If the temperature exceeds 38.5°C, ibuprofen suspension can be administered for medication to lower the fever. The main treatment focuses on addressing the underlying cause, and a complete blood count should be checked for reference in treatment.It could also be caused by infantile diarrhea. During the care of a diarrhea-stricken baby, feeding should follow the principle of small, frequent meals, starting with small amounts and gradually increasing, and transitioning from liquid to thicker textures. Medications such as antibiotics, mucosal protectants, probiotics, and traditional Chinese medicine may be required for treatment.
