What to do if a child has a fever

Patient's question:

Is there a doctor available? My baby is 2 years old and has a fever of 39 degrees. I have given her three doses of ibuprofen powder today. I went to the clinic today and got these two medications. Besides my 1-year-old baby, who also has a fever, the clinic said it's okay to take both of these medications.

Doctor's answer:

The causes of a baby's fever are many. The two types of medication prescribed by the clinic are both antibiotics, used for bacterial infections. The baby is 1 year old and has a fever—what is the temperature? How can it be bacterial infection? If it is viral infection, it cannot be taken, and there is no need to use two antibiotics simultaneously.
This is the advice for the question "Is there a doctor? My baby is 2 years old." I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
