Patient's question:
NoDoctor's answer:
Hello, your baby's fever might be caused by a bacterial infection or a cold. If the temperature is not above 38.5 degrees, it is generally not recommended to use fever-reducing medication. Physical methods of cooling can be used instead, such as applying alcohol swabs or damp cloths to the baby's forehead or armpits. If necessary, it is advisable to have the baby checked for a blood test at the hospital. If an infection is detected, antibiotic treatment can be administered. Make sure the baby drinks plenty of fluids, as this will help alleviate the condition. Wishing your baby a speedy recovery!
