Patient's question:

Doctor's answer:

Hello, according to your description, this situation is generally considered normal for newborns. They usually start to get whiter around one month to less than two months. You can observe daily, and there will always be surprises. Hello, if the blood test results are normal, bacterial inflammation can be ruled out. The baby's condition is classified as viral inflammation. It is recommended to wait for a detailed examination by a physician before starting medication. Fever caused by viral infections usually lasts for 3-5 days and generally does not exceed 5 days. When the temperature is above 38.5°C, you can use fever-reducing medication, such as ibuprofen preparations. Antiviral medication can be ribavirin granules. For clearing heat and detoxifying, you can use banlangen granules. Avoid spicy, stimulating, and greasy foods. Drink more water, get adequate rest, and focus on a light diet.
