1-year-old baby has a fever of 38.7°C, what to do

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

If there are no symptoms of a cold and the child is in good spirits, I suspect it might be roseola. But the child currently has a high fever, and if it's above 38.5 degrees Celsius, medication to reduce the fever will be necessary. A prominent feature of roseola is high fever.
