Patient's question:

How to deal with a cold and fever in a 4-month-old baby

Doctor's answer:

When the child's body temperature is below 38.5 degrees Celsius, a warm towel can be used to wipe the armpits, groin, and other major arterial areas to help lower the temperature, every 10 minutes. If the temperature exceeds 38.5 degrees Celsius, fever-reducing medication can be used to lower the temperature. You can take Meilin according to the instructions. Take the child to the hospital as soon as possible to check blood tests, C-reactive protein, and mycoplasma to identify the cause of infection. Treatment can only be symptomatic based on the test results. Seek medical attention immediately.
