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 effective for reducing fever. However, considering that a baby's immune system is relatively weak at this time, if the fever does not exceed 38°C, it is best not to give medication. Physical cooling methods can be used instead, such as applying diluted alcohol to the baby's palms and soles, or placing a cool towel on the baby's forehead. Additionally, make sure to give the baby plenty of water.
