Patient's question:
My child is a premature baby, and now they have a slight fever. What should I do? This situation has been going on for a while, and I'm hesitant to give them medicine. Please give me some advice from a doctor.Doctor's answer:
Premature infants with fever are prone to deterioration in their condition, so hospitalization and treatment are necessary. It is best to seek hospital treatment. Fever in children is common, and premature infants have weaker immune systems, making them more susceptible to fever. If it is a low-grade fever, it can be monitored temporarily, with increased fluid intake and avoiding excessive wrapping. As long as the baby is feeding well, there is no need to worry. However, if the situation is severe, it is best to seek medical treatment.
