Babies have very weak bodies and are prone to certain illnesses, such as the flu. Moreover, when a baby is infected with the flu, it is easy to cause fever symptoms, and sometimes even high fever. At this time, parents are very anxious and hope that their child can get rid of the fever quickly. So, what should I do if my baby's flu fever remains at 39 degrees Celsius?
If the baby has a fever of 39 degrees due to influenza and the fever persists, parents need to take some measures. Firstly, give the child a warm water bath, dip a towel in warm water, and then wipe the baby's neck, armpits, and thighs to lower their body temperature. You can also use antipyretic stickers for children, which also have a cooling effect.
Parents can also give their children antipyretic drugs. Everyone should pay attention to taking antipyretic drugs for infants and young children, which can safely and effectively reduce fever. Do not use adult antipyretics for children, as these drugs are not developed based on the characteristics of children and are therefore not suitable for use with young babies.
If the child's body temperature still does not decrease after undergoing physical cooling and taking antipyretic medication, parents should promptly take the child to the hospital. The doctor will conduct a detailed examination of the baby before formulating a treatment plan. After understanding the specific condition and receiving treatment from the doctor, the child's body temperature can quickly drop.
