Doctor's answer:
Hello, based on the situation you described, there are many possible causes of fever in babies, such as viruses and bacteria. It is recommended to visit a pediatric department in a local hospital for a physical examination, blood tests, and to identify the cause. Symptomatic treatment should be administered, with frequent monitoring of body temperature. If the temperature is below 38.5°C, physical cooling methods can be used. If the temperature is above 38.5°C, consider using fever-reducing medication. Drink plenty of warm water and get adequate rest. Only treating the underlying cause is the most accurate approach. Some conditions, such as colds or rash illnesses, may also cause fever.
