  A one year and five month old baby is actually considered to have relatively complete physical development. If they experience recurrent fever, it is best to go to the hospital to see a doctor. After a detailed examination, the doctor can identify the pathogen and determine which method of treatment is needed to determine whether medication is necessary or alternative methods can be used. Medication is not necessary.

  Continuous fever may be caused by catching a cold continuously. Mothers should not blindly use antibiotics for their babies. Generally, they should take some granules or oral liquids, which are not very effective and last for a long time. It is recommended to use medication under the advice of a doctor and not self medicate, as unprofessional medication cannot control the dosage.

  Traditional Chinese medicine can also help reduce fever. For babies aged 1 year and 5 months, traditional Chinese medicine methods can be used, or mothers can massage acupoints when they have a fever. Continuous fever is a low-grade fever and medication is not recommended. However, if it is a high fever, medication should be used to control it before taking other measures to avoid high fever affecting the development of the baby's brain in the future.
