Patient's question:
Female baby, how many months old, has been having a fever these days. It's the kind where the fever goes down but then comes back again, repeating over and over. She's eating dinner normally but crying non-stop. I'm asking what to do about a male infant who is about to be six months old in half a month if he gets a fever?Doctor's answer:
First, implement physical cooling, drink plenty of water. Cold compresses. Warm water bathing. Cold wet towels. If the body temperature is above 38.5 degrees, you can only use fever-reducing medicine. Generally, measure every two or three hours. Touching his forehead with your hand can also tell if he has a fever. If it's high fever, physical cooling is sufficient. The patient should develop a regular sleep schedule, adhere to treatment, and maintain a light diet with aerobic exercise to boost immunity and reduce the risk of illness.
