Patient's question:
Is the baby's temperature 37.3°C and should they take fever-reducing medication?Doctor's answer:
If the baby is in good spirits, able to eat and play, it is recommended not to rush to reduce the fever, as fever is the body's immune response. When the body temperature rises to a level that is unfavorable for the survival of pathogens, it helps the immune system fight off the pathogens. However, if the baby appears uncomfortable, you can follow the doctor's advice to take fever-reducing medication to lower the temperature and make the baby more comfortable.It is recommended to use single-ingredient medications and avoid mixing drugs. Before taking medication, carefully read the instructions and strictly follow the doctor's advice or the dosage recommended in the instructions. For infants, medication dosages are usually calculated based on body weight. For caution, two or more people should calculate separately to avoid errors. Pay attention to the time interval between doses.
