What temperature is considered a fever when measuring a baby's temperature in different positions?

Patient's question:

These days, my boss said I'm not in good spirits, which has affected my work performance. Actually, I didn't mean to, either. I often can't sleep at night, and sometimes feel anxious and uncomfortable. If it gets worse, I'm worried it will affect my health and work. Please ask, what temperature is considered a fever when measuring a baby's temperature in different positions?

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.
The baby has a high fever of 40 degrees. You can take some fever-reducing medicine and follow the dosage mentioned above. If the fever does not subside after taking it, you can take another dose after 6 hours, but no more than 3 times within 24 hours.
You can also apply a fever-reducing patch on the child.
