How to reduce fever for a 7-month-old baby with low-grade fever

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

Due to the child's thermoregulatory center not yet being fully developed, it is very easy for external factors to cause fluctuations in body temperature. Generally, it is recommended not to exceed 38 degrees Celsius, as medication for fever is not necessary. Physical cooling methods should be 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, it is generally advisable to take ibuprofen suspension or naproxen.
