Baby has a fever and has taken ibuprofen and ribavirin, as well as children's pseudoephedrine and mefenamic acid drops, but the temperature is only 35 degrees plus, is it normal?Doctor's answer:
The temperature of your baby has dropped due to external wind-cold, where pathogens rampant in the body cause the set point of the brain's temperature regulation center to shift downward. In summary, regarding your baby's condition, the intake of ibuprofen directly affects the brain's temperature regulation center, causing the temperature set point to rapidly shift downward within a certain period, thereby completing the rise in body temperature. Subsequently, the temperature drops below the normal range again. However, after a while, the temperature will naturally adjust back to normal. Please do not worry. Wishing your baby a speedy recovery!
