Since yesterday, my 7 month old baby has started to run a fever (38.2) and she is softer (no energy). What to do?

Good evening ma'am,

If the fever is present for 3 days, you need to go to the doctor. One consults a little more quickly if the child is very ugly, that is, if they are eating a lot less, they are amorphous or very sleepy or if you feel that they are really not well.

In the meantime, you are doing the right thing to bring the fever down and make him more comfortable by using Advil/Tylenol™ and prioritize rest and hydration.

Happy evening,

Alexandre Chagnon, pharmacist
