Fever is a common adverse symptom, and babies are very prone to fever. Not only do they have a fever when they catch a cold or flu, but they also have a fever when they have indigestion. After parents discover that their child has a fever, they not only need to cool down, but also find the cause of the fever. So, what is the reason for recurrent fever in a 6-month-old baby?
If a 6-month-old baby has recurrent fever, it is usually due to inflammation in the body, which is caused by bacterial or viral infection. Usually, children are prone to fever during a cold. Moreover, before the cold is cured, there may be recurrent fever. At this time, it is recommended to give the baby early childhood cold medicine, which can alleviate symptoms such as cough and nasal congestion, and some cold medicines can also reduce fever.
There are many diseases that can cause children to have a fever, such as enteritis, pneumonia, and tracheitis, all of which are common causes of fever in children. After discovering that the child has a fever, if it is a low-grade fever, do not rush to use antipyretic drugs. It is best to choose physical cooling and give the baby a warm bath.
For more severe fever symptoms, such as reaching a high fever, antipyretic medication must be taken immediately, and the baby's temperature should be monitored. If the effect is not satisfactory after taking the medicine, it is necessary to seek medical treatment immediately. In addition, during a child's fever, they should be given more water to avoid dehydration and also have some fever reducing effects.
