Patient's question:
Baby has a fever of 40 degrees, will it affect future development?Doctor's answer:
Hello. Based on the situation you described, it is recommended to promptly lower the child's temperature if their body temperature and height are found to be abnormal. If the temperature rises to 40 degrees Celsius, the child may be prone to seizures. Seizures can easily lead to brain hypoxia, causing neurological symptoms. Therefore, it is important to monitor the temperature changes promptly. If the temperature is above 38.5 degrees Celsius, cooling measures must be taken. If the fever persists and does not subside, it is advisable to seek medical attention to check for encephalitis.
