Patient's question:
Female baby, how many months old, has been feverish these days. It's the kind of fever where it subsides for a moment and then comes back again, recurring. She eats dinner normally but cries non-stop. How should I handle a 7.5-month-old baby with a fever of 38.5°C?Doctor's answer:
You can take some symptomatic medication, combine with unlimited cooling, drink more water, and avoid tightly wrapping too much. Use physical cooling, physical cooling methods. The specific method is: Soak gauze or soft small towels in warm water, wring them until half-dry, and gently wipe the patient's neck, chest, armpits, limbs, and palms of hands and feet to evaporate the moisture from the skin. Bring in heat to raise the body temperature, and you can repeat this method many times. Daily routines should include regular sleep schedules, proper cold prevention and warmth-keeping measures, a diet rich in light, thin, and soft foods, frequent ventilation, and drinking plenty of hot water to ensure the condition does not recur.
