Patient's question:
Boy baby, how many months old, has been having a fever recently. It's the kind where the fever goes down but then comes back again, happening repeatedly. He's eating dinner normally but crying non-stop. What should I do about the fever for a six-month-old baby?Doctor's answer:
When a child has a fever, do not self-medicate at home. First, closely monitor the changes in body temperature and take frequent temperature readings. If the temperature does not exceed 38.5 degrees, physical cooling methods can be used. If the temperature is higher than 38.5 degrees, use various fever-reducing medications to achieve the goal of cooling. If the child's temperature remains high, it is recommended to go to the hospital immediately for treatment and do not delay the condition. Daily routines should be regular, keep warm, eat light and soft foods, ensure good ventilation, and drink plenty of hot water to ensure the condition does not worsen.
