Patient's question:
Today I was working at the office when my older brother said my child had a fever and told me to come back quickly. When I got home, I saw my child's face was bright red and had no energy at all, which really broke my heart. My wife was so anxious that she even cried. Could you please ask a doctor what to do if a newborn has a fever of 38 degrees Celsius for a month?Doctor's answer:
You can cool down your child by using a warm towel to wipe their armpits and elbow creases to reduce fever, while you can also give them some warm water. If the temperature is not above 38 degrees and 5 degrees, it is not recommended to use fever-reducing medication for children, or you can choose to use fever patches to help reduce fever. The effect is quite good. If there is inflammation, or if the baby has a cold after catching a cold, fever may occur.
