What temperature does a baby have a high fever that is dangerous?

Patient's question:

The child just born doesn't know what's wrong, there are always red spots on their body, and they are spitting up milk. Please ask, at what temperature does the baby have a high fever that is considered dangerous?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, generally children over 39 degrees Celsius need fever reduction treatment. When it reaches 40 degrees Celsius, it's prone to convulsions and twitching, so active cooling is recommended. It's advised to use antipyretic drugs, hormones, and intramuscular injections of antibiotics for treatment.
Infants and young children may experience muscle cramps due to cold or fever. Calcium deficiency can also cause frequent twitching, requiring calcium supplementation, taking cod liver oil and calcium supplements, and getting more sun exposure. Once calcium is adequately supplemented, it will gradually improve.
