Baby's body temperature is always slightly higher than that of adults, so many parents do not distinguish their baby's fever symptoms, which can easily lead to delayed illness. Therefore, at this time, it is necessary to judge whether the baby has a fever or not based on some other symptoms of the baby. So, what are the symptoms of fever in a 5-month-old baby?
If the baby's body temperature exceeds 38.5 ℃, it is already a high fever, and the child may experience premature crying. When the baby's body temperature is below 38.5 ℃, they may show signs of lack of energy. However, babies with low-grade fever can resist and do not need medication. In this case, just pay close attention to the child's condition and drink plenty of water.
Babies with low-grade fever should ensure adequate nutrition intake and undergo physical fever reduction, such as scrubbing with warm water, which can alleviate the fever to some extent. Parents do not need to show excessive anxiety and concern because of this. It is best to take the child to a regular hospital for examination as soon as possible if the fever does not subside. Under the doctor's advice, medication should be used reasonably to reduce the fever.
Many parents may think that their baby is still young and do not want to treat some illnesses with medication. This idea is good, but if the illness is severe, medication is still needed. However, it is important to remember to use medication reasonably under medical advice to avoid further damage to the baby's physical health due to high fever. Getting rid of the fever as soon as possible can better maintain the baby's health.
