What should I do if my child has a high temperature?

Patient's question:

My child just turned one month old. The body temperature tested today is 37.5°C. Is this a normal temperature? Is it a fever? If it is a fever, what should I do?

Doctor's answer:

In your case, you can first use alcohol to bathe for fever reduction, and then identify the cause of the fever. There are many reasons that can cause fever. The most common one is infection, followed by connective tissue diseases, malignant tumors, etc. Don't rush to take medication.
