What temperature does the baby need to have to take fever-reducing medicine?

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

It is not recommended to take fever-reducing medication blindly at home. If the temperature is above 38.5 degrees, take the child to the hospital for examination (especially for younger babies). If the temperature is below 38.5 degrees, physical cooling methods such as warm water bathing can be used at home, and the temperature should be closely monitored.
