Patient's question:
These days, my boss said I'm not in good spirits and it's affecting my work performance. Actually, I don't want to, either. I often can't sleep at night and sometimes feel anxious and uncomfortable. If it gets worse, I'm worried it might affect my health and work. Can a two-week-old baby with a fever use a fever reducer patch?Doctor's answer:
A two-week-old baby with a fever can use fever reduction patches. Generally, it is recommended not to exceed 38 degrees Celsius, and fever-reducing medication is not necessary. 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, ibuprofen suspension or naproxen can typically be administered. 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 gastrointestinal decompression, and develop good hygiene habits.
The child should maintain a balanced diet and avoid stimulating and cold foods.
