How to reduce a 1-year-old baby's fever of 39°C at night

When a one-year-old baby develops a fever of 39°C at night, cooling measures should be prompt and effective. Parents should immediately administer oral antipyretic medications, such as various formulations of acetaminophen or ibuprofen, and pay close attention to following the doctor's instructions carefully when selecting the appropriate medication and dosage. At the same time, physical cooling methods can be used as an adjunct, such as wiping the baby's head and face, neck, limbs, and armpits with lukewarm water, helping the body dissipate heat through evaporation. During the cooling process, parents should ensure the baby consumes sufficient fluids to promote sweating and further cooling. Additionally, if administering oral medication proves difficult, parents may consider using antipyretic suppositories. Parents should closely monitor the baby's body temperature; if symptoms persist or worsen, timely medical evaluation and treatment are necessary.
