Patient's question:
Due to having a cold at 2.3 months, with a fever reaching over 39 degrees once, what should I do if the baby won't eat?Doctor's answer:
Hello, your baby has a fever and has taken fever-reducing medicine. The baby might not be eating because of illness and lack of appetite. I suggest giving your baby more water. You can feed them some millet porridge. Children with fever usually have no appetite, so it's recommended to give them light, liquid foods. Don't force the baby to eat, as this can easily cause indigestion.At 38°C, you can use fever-reducing patches for physical cooling. Use a warm towel to wipe the baby's palms, soles of the feet, neck, armpits, and inner thighs. Apply the patch to the baby's forehead. Drink more water, closely monitor the temperature changes, and I hope this can help you.
