How many blankets should an 8-month-old baby sleep with when they have a fever?

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

Mainly, it is considered that the fever symptoms are caused by a virus. It is recommended that you undergo a complete blood count test to assist in diagnosis. If the antiviral effect is poor, you can appropriately use anti-inflammatory medication, which may be more effective. The characteristics of viral infection are that it tends to cause repeated high fever. Viruses generally stop replicating within a week. There is no need to be too anxious. Drink more water, pay attention to rest. If the body temperature is below 38.5°C, you can use a cold compress on the forehead for physical cooling. If the temperature is higher, you can use fever-reducing medication. Fever is a process, and if there are any abnormalities in your mental state or other symptoms, you should seek medical treatment promptly.
