Patient's question:
What should I do if my baby has a cold and a fever of 38 degrees?Doctor's answer:
We know that fever caused by infection is the body's immune system's response to viruses and bacteria. Moderate fever can enhance the immune system's activity and aid in recovery. If the fever does not exceed 38.5°C, it is generally harmless, and it is best to avoid using fever-reducing medication. If the fever exceeds 38.5°C, you can use some fever-reducing medication along with physical cooling methods, and drinking more water can help detoxify and reduce fever. Physical cooling methods can also be considered. You can encourage the child to drink more water. If the temperature drops after using physical cooling methods, there is no need to worry. Hope this helps.
