How can I deal with my five-month-old baby's low fever these days?

Patient's question:

Zero days. At 8 PM on the 23rd, body temperature was 38.5 degrees Celsius, applied antipyretic suppositories, took ibuprofen suspension, and ribavirin particles, but body temperature kept fluctuating and rising. Previous treatment history and effectiveness: None

Doctor's answer:

1 Physiological high fever: Occurs during the premenstrual period or pregnancy in women.
2 Seasonal high fever: Recurs in the summer with mild fever accompanied by fatigue and reduced appetite, naturally resolving in the autumn, known as summer microfever.
3 Environmental high fever: Among workers in high-temperature environments, approximately 10% experience recurrent high fever.
4 Neurofunctional high fever: Clinically, it is more common in young adults aged 20-30. The patients' body temperature is lower than that of normal individuals by 0.3℃-0.5℃. The duration of high fever varies from months to several years, with generally good overall condition and no weight loss. This type of patient accounts for about 1/3 of total long-term high fever cases, with a favorable prognosis.
