Baby seven months fever 38 degrees how to do

When a baby has a fever of 38°C at 7 months, the first thing to do is to give the child physical cooling. You can use a warm towel to wipe the child’s armpits, groin, neck and other places rich in large blood vessels to help lower the temperature. Also observe what all discomfort the child has. If there are symptoms of nasal congestion, runny nose and sore throat, it is an upper respiratory tract infection and the child needs to be given some oral Pudilan anti-inflammatory oral solution. If there is abdominal pain and diarrhea, you need to take your child for a routine stool check to determine if it is a bacterial enteritis. If it is bacterial enteritis, you need to give your child antibiotics for treatment. If there are no such symptoms, it is best to take your child to the hospital for a routine blood test to see if there are any elevated white blood cells. If not, you need to pay more attention to the child’s condition and just drink more water and rest. Once the body temperature exceeds 38.5°C, the child should be given heat treatment, and oral ibuprofen suspension can be given.
