Patient's question:

Since the day before yesterday, there has been some response, but the reason is unclear; it might be due to feeling cold. How should I handle a newborn's fever?Doctor's answer:
Hello, according to your symptoms, your baby is not mentally normal and has poor appetite. You should check your baby's blood routine to see if there is a bacterial infection. First, your baby's low fever usually indicates a viral infection, but when you have a low fever, your baby's mental and appetite are poor. Therefore, you should rule out the possibility of a bacterial infection in the baby. Second, if your baby's temperature is below 38.5 degrees, it is generally recommended to take Qingkailin oral liquid or Liangyangjiao granules as fever-reducing medicine. If the temperature is above 38.5 degrees, it is best to actively give your baby fever-reducing medicine. Western medicines such as Nimesulide should actively control the temperature to avoid complications caused by high fever.
