Can a six-month-old baby with diarrhea and fever use fever-reducing suppositories?

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

The baby has a fever of 39 degrees and can take fever-reducing medicine. Tylenol or ibuprofen are both suitable for children. Generally, children should take fever-reducing medicine when their temperature is above 38.5 degrees. At 39 degrees, you should take her to the hospital for a test to see what's wrong and follow the doctor's medication instructions.
