How to prevent fever, how to properly treat it, thank you

Patient's question:

For three consecutive nights, I had a fever, felt nauseous in the morning, couldn't vomit, and felt better after sleeping again. During the day, I was fine, but by 4 or 5 PM, I wanted to sleep. In the middle of the night, I groaned because of stomach pain.

Doctor's answer:

Hello, your baby's fever may 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, which will help alleviate the condition. Wishing your baby a speedy recovery!
