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, happening repeatedly. She eats dinner normally but cries non-stop. What should I do if my 8-month-old baby has a fever?Doctor's answer:
Generally, children's fever is often caused by viral or bacterial infections, mostly due to upper respiratory tract infections. If the child has persistent and recurring fever, it is best to administer intravenous treatment. Maintain a proper diet, enhance care, take digestive vitamins, prevent adverse stimuli, and pay attention to keeping the child warm. Maintain a regular routine, ensure adequate warmth and insulation, eat light and soft foods, keep the room well-ventilated, and drink plenty of hot water to prevent the condition from recurring.
