Patient's question:
Hello doctor, do any of you know how to treat a newborn baby who is sick at home?Doctor's answer:
Encourage your baby to drink more water. Water can enhance the metabolism of body cells, promote the excretion of toxins from the body, and effectively induce sweating, which is beneficial for lowering body temperature. Your baby's clothes and bedding should not be too thick or excessive. Loose clothing should be worn to facilitate effective sweating and heat dissipation. Never dress a feverish baby in too many clothes or cover them with overly thick bedding, as this can easily lead to persistent high fever or even trigger febrile seizures. After your baby takes fever-reducing medication, they will sweat profusely. If their clothes and bedding become damp, they should be changed promptly to prevent chills from worsening the condition.
