A three-month-old child has a fever of more than 385 degrees

Babies over three months old have relatively poor immunity because all aspects of their bodies are not fully developed, so their resistance is relatively poor. Therefore, babies three months old are very susceptible to infection and thus develop diseases. If there is inflammation in the baby's body, it is very likely that the baby will have a fever. The baby's fever must be treated in advance, otherwise the baby may become stupid due to the fever. Let’s take a look at what to do if your three-month-old baby has a fever above 38.5 degrees?

There are many causes of fever in children, which can be clinically divided into infectious and non-infectious. Infectious causes are more common. The cold medicine given to babies also contains antipyretic ingredients. The child is too young now, so don't feed him water. The fever will go down in about 2 hours after taking the medicine. If the baby's fever reaches 39 degrees, give the baby antipyretics, and then cool the baby down physically, wipe the baby's body with warm water, and apply cold water to the head. The baby should have inflammation in the body, which is why the fever recurs repeatedly. Take anti-inflammatory drugs.

For infants and young children with recurrent fever, it is necessary to do a blood test for the child. After all, it is helpful to confirm the cause of the disease. The clinical treatment of fever is generally antibiotics. Children are still young, and antibiotics will weaken their own immunity. It is recommended to use Chinese medicine pediatric massage when children have a fever. The effect is very significant and has no toxic side effects.

When your baby has a high fever (at least above 38.5°C), you can use medicine to reduce the temperature, such as Tylenol and Motrin. Please note that there is a limit on the number of times the medicine can be used within 24 hours. This medicine is specifically used to reduce fever. Generally, the baby's body temperature will drop significantly after using it. After the temperature drops, you can no longer use antipyretic medicine. It is not recommended to use antipyretic drugs for treatment during pregnancy. In this case, physical cooling methods can be used to control the body temperature to within the normal range. If the antipyretic suppository is used only once, there will be no direct impact.
