Patient's question:
A 6-month-old baby cannot lift their head, can roll over, has a normal appetite, and shows no significant abnormalities, but sometimes they shake. How should a 7-month-old baby with a fever be handled?Doctor's answer:
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, drink plenty of warm water. If the body temperature is above 38.5 degrees, you can take ibuprofen or acetaminophen for symptomatic treatment, and physical cooling methods can also be applied.It is recommended to buy some jujube seed tea from a pharmacy, as jujube seeds have the effect of nourishing yin and calming the mind. Additionally, listen to light music more often, maintain a calm mood before bed, avoid major stimuli, and choose a suitable way to vent your emotions, such as chatting with friends.
