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. What should I do if my four-month-old baby has a fever of 38 degrees and vomiting?Doctor's answer:
The causes of fever in children are quite numerous and can be clinically categorized as infectious or non-infectious, with infectious causes being more common. Common causes include colds. For fever, it is essential to first identify the underlying cause and then treat it accordingly. High temperatures can easily lead to febrile seizures in children, so it is necessary to control the body temperature. This is primarily achieved through medication and physical cooling methods. Specific medications should ideally be used under the guidance of a doctor.
