My baby has inflammation and a fever of 37.6 degrees. What should I do?

The baby's body temperature changes very quickly because it is very sensitive to various disease factors. Once a problem occurs, the baby will have a fever, which is very adverse to the baby's health. Continuous high fever will threaten the health of the brain and cause damage to the baby's intelligence. Therefore, it is very important to pay attention to the problem of fever. Let's see what to do if the baby has inflammation and the fever is 37.6 degrees?

Fever is a manifestation of disease, not an independent disease. Therefore, when treating children's fever, we should not simply focus on reducing the fever, but should actively look for the cause of the fever and treat the primary disease.

Children with persistent high fever need appropriate cooling measures to avoid brain cell damage and possible adverse effects due to excessively high body temperature. It is especially necessary to take cooling measures in a timely manner for children with a history of febrile convulsions and children with high fever and extreme irritability. The following conditions in children with fever require vigilance or emergency treatment: febrile convulsions; fever in infants under 3 months old; fever lasting more than 5 days; fever > 40°C and cannot be effectively reduced within 2 hours by acetaminophen or ibuprofen; obvious changes in children's behavior: such as not liking to play, loss of appetite, rarely talking, indifference to surrounding things, or sudden special behavior that has never appeared before; less urine, indicating dehydration, such as infants wet < 3 diapers a day, or older children have not urinated for 8 to 12 hours.
