Doctor's answer:

Children usually have a fever due to viral infections caused by catching a cold, but there are also other reasons. Suggestions: A 2-month-old child suddenly had a fever today and took Children's Paracetamol and Chlorpheniramine Granules. Generally, children with a fever need to take them to the pediatric department of the hospital to see a doctor to identify the cause and then treat it accordingly to completely suppress the fever. If the fever is contagious, it's usually not a big problem. If the current temperature is below 38.5°C, it's better to go to the hospital promptly.
