Patient's question:
Female baby, how many months old, has been feverish these days. It's the kind of fever where when the fever goes down, it comes back up again, repeating itself. She eats dinner normally but cries non-stop. What should I do if my 5-month-old baby has a fever of 38 degrees?Doctor's answer:
A baby who is about half a year old has again developed a fever of 38 degrees Celsius. This is usually caused by a viral infection due to weakened immunity. Parents should pay attention to applying alcohol or warm water to the baby for some cooling effect. If the temperature continues to drop, it is necessary to take fever-reducing medication. Patients should develop good daily habits, maintain a regular schedule, avoid smoking and drinking, and increase daily exercise to improve their immunity and prevent the condition from recurring.
