Patient's question:
My baby is 10 months old now. She has a fever of 38 degrees, and her little cheeks are very hot. What should I do now? We do have fever patches at home, but I'm not sure if I can use them now. Please help the experts? What kind of help do I want: reply online, the faster the better.Doctor's answer:
According to your description, you have a baby with a fever issue. If you have a fever like this, you don't need to be too nervous. You can take medication to reduce the fever. Indeed, if the situation warrants it, it is recommended that you use fever-reducing patches and give your baby more water to prevent dehydration after the fever subsides. You should encourage your baby to drink more water to aid in metabolism. Additionally, you can apply alcohol to the forehead and armpits to implement physical cooling.
