Patient's question:
At three months, the child did not eat well (no breast milk). When the child was five months old, they started having fever and ate even worse. The fever usually occurred in the afternoon, sometimes at night, with temperatures around 38.5–38.9°C. Fever in the morning was relatively rare.Doctor's answer:
Generally, fever is a defensive response. If the body temperature is below 38.5 degrees, there is no need for antipyretic treatment. Rest and keep warm, drink plenty of warm water. If the body temperature is above 38.5 degrees, you can take ibuprofen preparations or paracetamol for symptomatic treatment, and at the same time, physical cooling treatment can be done.
