Patient's question:
This morning, the temperature was 37.5 degrees Celsius. Treatment history and effectiveness: No treatment has been given. What kind of help do you want: I want to know what the temperature of a six-month-old baby should be, and whether medication is still needed for fever?Doctor's answer:
In this case, the child has a slightly elevated body temperature, which is often caused by upper respiratory tract infections. It is recommended to closely monitor the situation. If symptoms such as a runny nose, nasal congestion, or cough persist, anti-inflammatory and antiviral treatment may be necessary.If the child has a fever, it is advisable to first use physical cooling methods, such as wiping the armpits and groin areas with warm water. When the temperature drops below 38.5°C, additional antipyretic medication can be administered. This approach is both safe and effective, with minimal side effects.
