Patient's question:
These days, my boss said my spirits aren't good, affecting my work performance. Actually, I didn't want to, either. I often can't sleep at night, sometimes feel anxious and uncomfortable. If it gets serious, I'm worried it will affect my health and work. Please ask, can a baby with a fever of two weeks use a fever reducer patch?Doctor's answer:
A two-week-old baby with a fever can use a fever-reducing patch. It is generally recommended not to exceed 38 degrees Celsius, and there is no need to take fever-reducing medication. Physical cooling methods should be the primary approach, such as alcohol rubs and lukewarm face and forehead washes.If the temperature exceeds 38 degrees Celsius, it is generally advisable to take ibuprofen suspension or naproxen. There are many factors that can cause respiratory issues in children. If the child is confirmed to have a respiratory condition, parents need to cooperate with the doctor in active treatment, including gastric decompression, and develop good hygiene habits.
The child should have a balanced diet and avoid stimulating and cold foods.
