Can the baby, who has a fever of 39.2 degrees, still take fever-reducing granules?

Patient's question:

Now the baby has a fever of 39.2 degrees, and one milliliter of fever-reducing medicine has been taken. Today just turned one year old, and the fever hasn't subsided yet. Can the fever-reducing granules still be taken?

Doctor's answer:

According to the situation you described. A one-year-old baby has a cold and fever, with a temperature of 39.2 degrees. If the temperature is above 38.5 degrees, it is best to decide to take fever-reducing medication. It has no side effects on the baby's body. Generally, it will reduce the fever within half an hour, and within 24 hours, it should not exceed 4 times. Below 38.5 degrees, there is no need to take fever-reducing medication. Use fever-reducing patches, physical cooling, and drink more warm water. For cooling down, use a warm towel to wipe all parts of the baby's body, including the forehead, neck, chest, back, groin, armpits, and limbs. Each wipe should last more than ten minutes, and monitor the temperature data. Drink more warm water.
