Help needed: Should I go to the hospital immediately for an IV drip?
Doctor's answer:
It is recommended to promptly visit a regular hospital for a thorough examination. It is advisable to check the temperature carefully. A baby's axillary temperature below 37.5°C is normal, while 37.5-38°C is acceptable. A temperature between 38-38.5°C indicates a high fever (you can give Taurine Detoxifying Granules). If the temperature is below 38.5°C, it should be taken seriously. If you are still not reassured, check the temperature at regular intervals. You can first apply a fever patch to the forehead—replace it every 12 hours. Then, use physical cooling methods, such as wiping the baby's entire body with lukewarm water, paying special attention to areas like the palms and soles, which are more prone to heat transfer.
