Patient's question:
I don't know what's going on, but my child has been misbehaving and crying non-stop recently. Even the hospital check-up didn't help. Could you please tell me at what temperature is it considered a fever for infants?Doctor's answer:
You can treat it differently based on the temperature.37-38°C: No need to rush to reduce fever.
38-38.5°C: Take a lukewarm bath or sponge bath, and drink more water.
38.5°C and above: Consider using fever-reducing medication.
Different causes can lead to respiratory issues in children. If a child is confirmed to have a respiratory condition, parents need to cooperate with the doctor for immediate treatment, support gastric decompression, and develop good hygiene habits. The child should have a balanced diet and avoid stimulating and cold foods.
