Question
What should parents avoid doing when a baby has a fever?
Answer
When a baby has a fever, parents should not administer adult fever-reducing medication themselves, nor should they dress the baby in too many clothes or blankets to avoid affecting body temperature dissipation. It is recommended to give the baby appropriate fever-reducing medication such as Huto and Merin oral liquid, and take physical cooling measures such as wiping the body with warm water or using fever-reducing patches. If the fever exceeds 38.5°C or persists without improvement, seek medical attention promptly.
