What should I do if the baby has a fever of 38.7 degrees Celsius last night?

Patient's question:

The baby had a fever of 38.7 degrees Celsius last night. At a little after one, they took Taurine Granules, which had no effect. Two hours later, at four, they took Ibuprofen Granules, and now it's still 37.8. How should this be resolved? Should they go to the hospital, or should they take Taurine Granules first?

Doctor's answer:

According to your description, how old is the baby now, and is its mental state good? It's best to check the blood routine at the hospital to see if there is any contagious condition! If the mental state is good, you can wait and see by carefully observing. The baby has a fever, with a temperature below 38.5, and needs to take Motrin to reduce fever. When the temperature is not too high, you can use more physical cooling at home, such as taking more baths and wiping the body more. The above is the advice for the question "Baby had a fever of 38.7 last night," and I hope it helps you. Wishing you health!
