Patient's question:
My baby is a premature infant and has been more than a month old now. Yesterday, the mother had a fever and didn't breastfeed, only drinking formula all day. At night, the baby also had a fever of 38 degrees. Since it was nighttime, they didn't see a doctor. What should they do? Is there any way to reduce the fever at home?Doctor's answer:
There are many reasons for a fever. The most likely ones are: dehydration of the body; the second is a cold. Instructions: 1. Give the child more water. 2. Consider using fever-reducing medications such as ibuprofen and paracetamol for children. 3. Closely monitor the child's physical changes. Contact a doctor promptly if any problems are found. 4. Timely supplement the various nutrients needed for the child's growth and development, such as Longmu Zhuanggu Granules, probiotics, and those with good storage quality. This can be considered.
