What should I do if my baby has a fever? Are digital thermometers accurate?

Patient's question:

No.

Doctor's answer:

Generally, fever is a defensive response. If the body temperature is below 38.5 degrees, there is no need for antipyretic treatment. Rest and keep warm, drink more warm water. If the body temperature is above 38.5 degrees, you can take ibuprofen preparations or acetaminophen for symptomatic treatment, and at the same time, you can do physical cooling treatment.
