Patient's question:
The baby is one month and seven days old. It has a slight fever of 38 degrees Celsius. How can the fever be reduced? Last night, when it was lying on its side, the temperature was still 37.5, but today it has gone up again. What should I do?Doctor's answer:
Most cases of fever in infants are typically caused by infectious diseases. It is necessary to conduct a thorough examination to identify the specific infectious cause. It is recommended to take medication for treatment only after confirming the specific cause of the infection. Do not take medication blindly on your own. If the temperature is below 38.5°C, take fever-reducing medication and then go back to the pediatric department for follow-up.This is the advice for the question "My baby is one month and seven days old and has a fever of 38°C. How can I reduce the fever?" I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
