What to do if your two-year-old baby has a fever of 38 degrees

When a two-year-old baby has a fever of 38 degrees Celsius, as long as the child is in good spirits, you can first not be too nervous and give the child a physical cooling method to ensure that the child’s body temperature does not exceed 38.5 degrees Celsius. If the child is not taking cephalosporin antibiotics or penicillin antibiotics, you can use diluted white wine or alcohol to wipe the baby’s skin all over the body, especially the armpits, groin and neck, these parts should be wiped for a little longer, because these parts are rich in blood vessels, easy to cool down, and the effect is also better. You can use Chinese medicine to reduce fever and prevent febrile convulsions, especially the antelope horn granules or pediatric black beetle and clear fever granules and pediatric cold and fever granules. If your baby’s temperature continues to rise above 38.5°C, you need to give your child antipyretic medication for treatment, and it is generally recommended to take ibuprofen suspension orally.
