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-ups haven't helped. How should I handle a six-month-old baby with recurrent fever?Doctor's answer:
In your case, you can first use alcohol to bathe for fever reduction, and then identify the cause of the fever. There are many reasons that can cause fever, the most common being infection, followed by connective tissue diseases, malignant tumors, etc. Don't rush to take medication. Rest in bed and eat easily digestible or semi-liquid food. Physical cooling methods can be used for high fever. For those with symptoms of shortness of breath, cyanosis, or other hypoxia symptoms, nasal cannula oxygen can be administered. Penicillin is the first-line treatment.
