What should I do if my 7-month-old baby has a fever? Do I need to take medicine to reduce the fever when the temperature is always 37.5℃?

Question 1: My baby is one year old. His axillary temperature has always been between 37 and 37.5°C. He has a slightly runny nose, does not cry or fuss, and is in good spirits. Is this temperature a fever? Do you need to take medicine? Dr. He Jiexin answered: This situation is a low-grade fever. If the baby is in good spirits, he can skip medicine, drink more water, and eat a lighter diet. If your body temperature is higher than 38.5°C, you can take Motrin or Tylenol. A runny nose indicates that the baby still has a cold. If the symptoms are not serious, continue to observe and drink more fluids. If you have a lot of runny nose, you can take children\’s Jiegan granules, half a packet at a time, three times a day. Question: 3 months after giving birth, I have been breastfeeding, and my menstruation always comes once every ten days, and my menstrual flow is light. What is the reason for this? Dr. Yu Jiangqi’s answer: First of all, we must rule out poor uterine recovery. If the uterus recovers poorly, abnormal vaginal bleeding will occur. If the uterus returns to normal and there is no tissue residue inside, then this situation is caused by endocrine disorders from the perspective of Western medicine. From the perspective of Traditional Chinese medicine, it is related to postpartum physical weakness, and you can take Chinese medicine to regulate it. Question 3: My baby girl is just 4 months old and likes to suck her fingers. Her fingers are turning white from sucking. Can I use a pacifier in this case? Doctor Xu Lijuan answered: At this time, the baby is in the oral stage, and it is normal for the baby to eat his fingers. If finger eating is severe, you can use a pacifier instead.
