Patient's question:
The baby is now six months old and has a fever for unknown reasons, with a temperature between 37.5-38 degrees Celsius. I don't know if some fever-reducing medicine should be given. Previous treatment and effectiveness: A few days ago, the baby had a fever and developed a rash all over the body, which was cured in just two days with antiviral medication. What kind of help is desired: The baby's temperature is 37.5 degrees Celsius, so should some fever-reducing medicine be given?Doctor's answer:
When children again show symptoms of fever and cough, parents should promptly measure their body temperature. If the temperature is below 38.5 degrees Celsius, physical cooling can be administered. This involves using lukewarm water to sequentially rinse the child's armpits, neck, chest, and other affected areas, placing an ice pack on the head, and it is recommended to effectively help reduce the temperature. If the condition is severe or high fever requires medication, medical advice should be followed to prevent harm to the child caused by improper medication use.
