Patient's question:
Eight and a half-month-old baby, today I measured his temperature, which was 37.6 degrees. Later, I bought him fever-reducing medicine and Amoxicillin granules for him to take, and his temperature dropped to 37.4 degrees.Doctor's answer:
An eight-month-old child currently has a slightly high fever. Physical cooling methods can be used for the child, but fever-reducing medications should not be administered as they have significant side effects. The child should be given plenty of fluids and have their limbs, armpits, and other areas wiped with warm water. Temperature should be measured about half an hour after medication.The above advice is for the question "An eight-and-a-half-month-old baby's temperature was measured at 37 today." I hope it helps. Wishing you good health!
