Does a six-month-old child with a fever for three or four days have an impact on the little head?

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

A six-month-old child with a fever for three or four days will not be significantly affected by it. Generally, it is recommended not to let the temperature exceed 38 degrees Celsius, and there is no need to take fever-reducing medication. Physical cooling methods can be used as the primary approach, such as applying alcohol for a body rub, and washing the face and forehead with warm water. If the temperature exceeds 38 degrees Celsius, ibuprofen suspension or naproxen can generally be taken.
