Patient's question:
Armpit temperature is around 38 degrees Celsius. It has been feverish all day yesterday. It might be due to catching a cold.History of treatment and effectiveness: Took fever-reducing medicine. Stopped it, but the fever returned.
What kind of help is desired: How to treat it?
Doctor's answer:
For babies, fever reduction is usually done using physical methods. If the temperature is not above 38.5°C, it is generally not recommended to use fever-reducing drugs. You can use fever reduction patches. The water vapor in the gel-like substance of the fever reduction patch can carry away heat, and it will not cause excessive cooling. Drink more water. Wipe the body with warm water. When the baby's temperature exceeds 38.5°C, or if fever-reducing drugs have been taken, or if parents do not know how to handle it, it is important to seek medical attention promptly and let the doctor treat the condition.
