Patient's question:
My baby is a premature child, and I was very worried about the child's condition from the beginning. Recently, the child has been experiencing a series of issues, and I am also very concerned, afraid that the child's condition will worsen. Please ask what should be done if the baby has a low fever that doesn't go away at six months?Doctor's answer:
My suggestion is not to take medication casually until you are sure what the problem is. Because when using anti-inflammatory drugs, it is essential to know whether it is a viral infection or a bacterial infection to treat the symptoms accordingly. Otherwise, it will not only fail to reduce inflammation but may also worsen the symptoms. If an infant's fontanel is too small, but the head circumference is within the normal range and the growth rate of the head circumference is also normal, there is no need to worry too much. This indicates that the newborn simply has a small fontanel, and the fontanel does not affect brain development. Brain development is normal.
