What can I do if my baby has low-grade fever that won't go away?

Patient's question:

My baby is already over 6 months old. Yesterday, she had a low fever of 37.7, and in the afternoon it was 38.2. Today it's still the same, even reaching 38.9 in the afternoon, and she's also a bit constipated, but it keeps coming back. Is there any way to help?

Doctor's answer:

Insufficient water intake in babies during the summer can also cause this condition. I don't know what it's called in medicine. My baby sometimes has this too. If I give him more plain water, his temperature goes down. Now more than half of our children have a fever. They have herpes. This infection is viral. They ate something from New Berlin. Common anti-inflammatory drugs don't work. After the fever breaks, it comes back. Then it burns, check if the child's throat or hands and feet have bubbles.
