Patient's question:
Our child is 11 months old and has had a fever recently. Over the past few days, the temperature reached 40°C, and we took them to the hospital. The doctor said it's nothing to worry about.Previous treatment and effectiveness: Took Motrin.
What help is needed: Can other medications be taken after taking Motrin?
Doctor's answer:
Low-grade fever definitely needs treatment. In addition to medication from the hospital, I would say it's important to physically cool the child. Use alcohol or homemade liquor mixed with warm water, but not too cold. Apply it to the child's forehead, armpits, groin, and other areas.The above advice is for the question, "My child is 11 months old and has been running a fever recently. Yesterday, it reached 40 degrees, and the hospital said it's nothing to worry about. What should I do?" I hope this helps. Wishing you good health!
