At this time, we should keep the baby warm, put on more clothes, cover him/her with more blankets, feed him/her warm water several times, and check the temperature regularly. If the baby’s temperature exceeds 38.5°C, the child can be treated with ibuprofen suspension and acetaminophen suspension. At the same time, physical cooling measures such as warm water baths and ice packs on the head can be used to relieve the symptoms, and ice packs wrapped in towels can be placed on the baby’s forehead and under the armpits to relieve the symptoms.
