A 8-month-old baby with a fever of 39.5°C due to catching a cold, how should they be given medication?

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

Hello, as long as the child is in good spirits and the temperature is not above 38.5°C, there is no need to take fever-reducing medication. If the fever is high and the child's spirits are not good, then you can take fever-reducing medication, such as ibuprofen suspension or Tylenol, or use physical cooling methods, among others.
