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. Could you please tell me what will happen to a 9-month-old baby with a fever of 39°C when exposed to wind?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.There are quite a few causes of fever in children, which can be clinically categorized as infectious and non-infectious, with infectious causes being more common, such as colds, which are the most common causes. For fever, it is important to first identify the cause and then treat it accordingly. High temperatures can easily lead to febrile seizures in children, so it is necessary to control the temperature. This is mainly achieved through medication and physical cooling methods. Specific medications are best used under the guidance of a doctor.
