Patient's question:
My baby is just 41 days old today, and their temperature is very unstable, ranging from a low of 37.5°C to a high of 38.2°C. It started high, then went down, and then went back up again.Treatment history and effectiveness: Drinking warm water, keeping feet warm.
What kind of help do you want: How can the fever be reduced quickly?
Doctor's answer:
In this stage, it is not recommended to use medication to reduce fever, but it is advisable to use physical cooling methods. Warm water bathing, which involves using a warm towel to wipe the entire body, is a good cooling method and is suitable for all feverish babies. The water temperature should be between 32-34°C, and each wiping session should last more than 10 minutes. The key areas for wiping are the skin folds, such as the neck, armpits, elbows, and groin.
