  Most cases of fever in babies are caused by viral infections, and mothers can treat them with antiviral drugs. If the baby still has a fever after taking medication, they need to go to the hospital for a detailed examination to identify the cause and follow the doctor's guidance for the next step of treatment.

  If the baby has no history of febrile seizures and the temperature of the fever does not exceed 38.5 degrees, there is no need for targeted treatment. Mothers only need to give their babies plenty of warm water, which can promote sweating in the body. They also need to use antipyretic patches and physical methods such as bathing with warm water to assist in reducing fever.

  If the baby's body temperature exceeds 38.5 degrees, medication should be given to the baby to reduce fever, and warm water should be consumed to assist in reducing fever. When the baby has a fever, the mother must observe more and take the baby's temperature more, so that the temperature can be lowered in time. Mom must ensure that the room where the baby sleeps is well ventilated, with good air circulation and a quiet environment, so as to make the baby feel comfortable both physically and mentally.
