1 year old child fever 39 degrees how to do

A 1-year-old child with a fever of 39 degrees should be immediately given oral antipyretic medications, such as ibuprofen and acetaminophen, in appropriate doses orally according to the baby’s weight. At the same time, undress the baby so that the baby is in a cool, comfortable and ventilated environment. Give your baby plenty of water, as fever can easily make your baby dehydrated. If your baby has cold extremities with chills, you can soak your baby’s hands and feet in warm water. If the baby’s limbs are warm and there are no chills, you can apply cold compresses to the baby’s forehead with ice packs, ice cubes, or cold towels. Go to the hospital promptly and ask the doctor to help find the cause of the baby’s fever and treat the cause. Parents should observe and record in detail the regularity of the baby’s fever, the maximum temperature, and whether there are other accompanying symptoms, such as nasal congestion, cough, runny nose, abdominal pain, poor nausea, general weakness, skin rash, joint pain, and hand patting head.
