Fever is quite common in young children, such as accidentally catching a cold in daily life. If a baby catches a cold, it can cause low-grade fever in the body. Although cold and fever are common, timely treatment or adjustment of the body is also necessary after low-grade fever occurs. So, what should be done for a one and a half year old baby with low-grade fever?
Firstly, parents should be aware that if a one and a half year old baby experiences a fever, the severity of the illness does not necessarily indicate its severity. For example, some common colds can also cause high fever and even cause convulsions in children. And when weak babies are sick, their symptoms are often moderate and low-grade fever, and even long-term low-grade fever. So, when a baby has a low-grade fever, it is also necessary to be alert, and it is recommended to go to the hospital for medical examination.
If it is a common cold, the short-term low-grade fever caused by it generally has self-healing properties and does not require special treatment. During this period, feeding the baby more water and giving the baby sufficient rest can naturally relieve the condition in about three to five days.
3. If it is recurrent low-grade fever, often manifested as low-grade fever, night sweats, physical weakness, and poor diet. This situation should be considered to be caused by tuberculosis in children. Therefore, further physical examination should be carried out to determine whether it is caused by this cause. At this time, targeted treatment should be given in a timely manner.
