Patient's question:
These days, my boss said I'm not in good spirits and it's affecting my work performance. Actually, I didn't mean to, either. I always can't sleep at night, and sometimes I feel anxious and uncomfortable. If it gets worse, I'm worried it will affect my health and work. How should I treat a low fever in a 9-month-old baby?Doctor's answer:
The reasons for a child's fever may be caused by functional or infectious symptoms. It is important to go to the hospital for follow-up examination and diagnosis for treatment. Drink more water and pay attention to observation and treatment. Generally, fever is a defensive response. If the body temperature is below 38.5 degrees, there is no need for antipyretic treatment. Rest and keep warm, and drink plenty of warm water. If the body temperature is above 38.5 degrees, you can take ibuprofen preparations or acetaminophen for symptomatic treatment, and at the same time, physical cooling treatment can be done.
