How to reduce a baby's fever?

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 reduce my baby's fever?

Doctor's answer:

Generally, it is recommended not to exceed 38 degrees Celsius, as medication is not necessary. Physical cooling methods can be used, such as applying alcohol to the body and washing the face and forehead with warm water. If the temperature exceeds 38 degrees Celsius, ibuprofen suspension or naproxen can usually be taken. Based on your description, the condition is primarily indicative of phimosis. After the child matures, the foreskin can be surgically removed, which will not affect the body.
