Patient's question:
Children's Hospital InfusionDoctor'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, which are all quite effective for fever reduction. However, considering that a 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. Also, make sure to give the baby plenty of water.
