Patient's question:
My baby has been having diarrhea and then a fever. The temperature measured today is 38.9 degrees. In this situation, how can I reduce my child's fever?Doctor's answer:
The baby has a fever of 38.9 degrees. First, you need to monitor the child's temperature. If there are changes in the temperature during this period, or if the high fever persists, you can give the child an antipyretic injection or use Tylenol. You can choose to use Tylenol suspension. If the child's temperature shows signs of decreasing, there is no need to give medication, as antipyretics can be very harmful to the child and may even affect the baby's antibodies.
