Patient's question:
I only started feeling feverish today. 38.5 degrees.Doctor's answer:
Hello, when a baby has a fever above 38.5°C, it is generally considered appropriate to give fever-reducing medication, such as Chaihu Granules, Zaixin, or Motrin, as they are all quite effective for fever reduction. However, considering that the baby's body resistance is relatively low at this time, if the fever does not exceed 38°C, it is best not to give medication. Physical cooling methods can be used for treatment, such as rubbing diluted alcohol on the baby's palms and soles, or applying a cool towel to the baby's forehead. Additionally, make sure to give the baby plenty of water.
