Doctor's answer (1)
Dr. Lu Chengyu
In general, it is acceptable for a baby with a fever to drink formula milk, but this should be done under the guidance of a doctor. If the fever is caused by malnutrition or other related factors, drinking formula can be an effective treatment, as it contains abundant nutrients that provide essential nourishment for the body, help restore health, and support the body's ability to fight viruses and bacteria. However, it is best to consult a doctor before giving formula to avoid adverse reactions and potential harm to the baby's health.
