When infants and young children need emergency care, they usually have a fever for several days.

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

This fever tends to recur. First, it lasts for 3-5 days, then the fever subsides and a rash appears, and the illness is considered over. For a baby with a fever, give them more water, monitor their temperature, and if it doesn't exceed 38.5°C, you can use lukewarm water to bathe them for physical cooling. If it exceeds, give medication or apply fever-reducing patches. Don't overbundle them, as it hinders heat dissipation. The rash generally takes 3-5 days to heal.
