Patient's question:
11-month-old baby has had a temperature around 37.23 degrees Celsius for the past few days. Is it serious?Medical history and treatment effectiveness: There is phlegm in the throat, and the baby is taking medication.
What kind of help do you need: Is it normal for the baby's temperature to be around 37 degrees?
Doctor's answer:
Children with fever should not be rushed to use medication to reduce it. Fever is a defensive response of the human body, and antipyretic drugs can only lower body temperature but cannot eliminate the root cause of the fever. Generally, it is not necessary to rush to reduce fever if the body temperature does not exceed 38.5°C, especially before a clear diagnosis is made. When necessary, Bīngbīng fever-reducing patches can be used, which are convenient to use. The main ingredients are cool plant extracts and contain no medicinal components, ensuring they will not cause any side effects.
