Here are some general guidelines for treating a baby with a fever:
Keep the baby hydrated: Offer the baby plenty of fluids such as breast milk, formula, or water to prevent dehydration.
Dress the baby lightly: Overheating can make a fever worse, so dress the baby in light, comfortable clothing and keep the room temperature cool.
Use a fever-reducing medication: If the baby is uncomfortable, you can give them a fever-reducing medication such as acetaminophen (Tylenol) or ibuprofen (Advil). Check with your pediatrician to determine the appropriate dose for your baby’s weight and age.
Monitor the baby’s temperature: Keep an eye on the baby’s temperature and record it regularly. Call your pediatrician if the fever lasts for more than 24-48 hours or if the baby has other symptoms such as vomiting, diarrhea, or a rash.
Give the baby plenty of rest: Let the baby rest and sleep as much as possible.
Remember, it’s important to consult with a pediatrician if you have any concerns about your baby’s health. Your pediatrician can help determine the cause of the fever and the best course of treatment
