What to do when a 10-month-old baby has a cold and fever

If a 10-month-old child has a cold and fever, the first thing to do is to give the child more water and rest, and use physical cooling, such as wiping the child’s skin with warm water, especially in the armpits, groin and neck, which are rich in blood vessels. If the body temperature can be controlled below 38.5℃, just give the child the pellet of pediatric cold and flu or the pellet of An’erning. Once the child’s body temperature exceeds 38.5℃, it needs to be treated with antipyretic medicine because the child is relatively small and is prone to high fever convulsions. You can give your child oral ibuprofen suspension, which can be repeated after 4-6 hours, no more than 4 times a day. If the child’s symptoms are not relieved after taking the medication, he or she needs to go to the hospital quickly for consultation.
