My baby is eight months old and has had a fever repeatedly for several days. What should I do?

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

It is recommended to add an antiviral medication such as Ribavirin granules or Antiviral oral liquid when using fever-reducing drugs. If it is a bacterial infection, add a cephalosporin antibiotic for treatment. Encourage the child to drink more warm water. The effect of fever-reducing drugs is generally about 4-6 hours. Pay attention to monitoring the child's temperature. Once the fever reaches 38.5°C, fever-reducing medication should be used.
