What to do if your ten-month-old baby has a fever of 38 degrees

For a 10-month-old baby with a fever of 38 degrees, you should appropriately reduce the clothes your baby wears, loosen the wrapping and make the environment your baby is in cool, comfortable and ventilated. Feed your baby more milk and drink more water as appropriate to avoid dehydration due to fever. Take your baby to the hospital promptly and ask the doctor to help find the cause of the fever and treat it for the cause. Observe your baby’s temperature closely. If the temperature continues to rise and reaches 38.5 degrees, take oral antipyretic drugs such as ibuprofen and acetaminophen promptly, giving the appropriate dose orally according to your baby’s weight. You can also put the antipyretic paste on the baby’s forehead, which has a certain effect on reducing fever.
