When a baby has a fever, it is important to seek medical attention promptly to determine the cause and follow the doctor’s advice for treatment. If the fever is caused by a viral infection, avoid using antibiotics arbitrarily. If it is caused by a bacterial infection, the doctor will prescribe the appropriate antibiotic. If a baby’s body temperature exceeds 38°C, it should be considered a high fever and special attention is needed.
It is not recommended to directly apply a towel wrapped in ice to a baby’s head when they have a fever, as the cold towel may cause convulsions. It is suggested to use a warm towel and to give the child plenty of water to drink. If there are symptoms of a cold, you can take cold and anti-inflammatory medication, and monitor the child’s blood count. You can use a fever-reducing patch to lower the body temperature.
The baby’s fever fluctuates, dropping with medication but soon rising again. After taking the fever-reducing medicine twice today, the temperature is now 39.3°C, with hiccups and a slight cough.
