What should be done if a baby has a fever?

Patient's question:

Boy baby, how many months old, recently has been having a fever, the kind where it doesn't break and then it comes back again, over and over. He's eating dinner normally but crying non-stop. What should I do about a baby's fever?

Doctor's answer:

The child is likely to experience a recurrence of fever, which is probably caused by a cold or catching a chill. In this case, it is necessary to implement fever-reducing measures for the child. If the child's temperature is above 38.5 degrees, physical cooling methods can be used. If the child's temperature is below 38.5 degrees, fever-reducing medication should be taken.
During the treatment period, the patient should follow a balanced diet, maintain a regular sleep schedule, actively participate in physical exercise, and regulate physical and mental health. It is also important to maintain personal hygiene to avoid bacterial invasion due to weakened immunity.
