Patient's question:
Armpit temperature is around 38 degrees Celsius, fever for a whole day yesterday, possibly due to catching a cold. Previous treatment and effectiveness: took fever-reducing medicine, stopped it, and then the fever returned. What kind of help do you want: how to treat it?Doctor's answer:
For babies, fever reduction is generally done using physical methods. If the temperature is not above 38.5°C, it is usually not recommended to use fever-reducing medication. You can use fever patches. The water vapor in the gel-like substance of the fever patch can carry away heat without causing excessive cooling. Drink more water and use warm water to wipe the body. When the baby's temperature exceeds 38.5°C, if fever-reducing medication is taken or if parents are unsure how to handle it, it is important to seek medical attention promptly for treatment by a doctor.
