How to handle a 11-month-old baby with a fever of 38.5 degrees?

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

Fever is a common phenomenon, usually caused by a cold. Due to the underdeveloped centralregulatory system, it is easily affected by external factors, leading to fluctuations in body temperature. Generally, it is recommended not to exceed 38 degrees Celsius, as medication is not necessary. Physical cooling methods can be used as the primary approach, such as applying alcohol to the body and washing the face and forehead with warm water. If the temperature exceeds 38 degrees Celsius, ibuprofen suspension or naproxen can be taken.
