If the baby fever is lower than 37.5℃, only physical cooling is needed. The more common physical cooling methods are warm bath, antipyretic paste, ice compress, etc. If the baby temperature exceeds 38.5℃, oral antipyretic drugs may be needed to cool down, but if the basic conditions of the child, including mental state, diet state, if not good, it is not recommended to simply take antipyretic drugs at home, but parents need to take the baby to a professional hospital for diagnosis and treatment.
