The baby has a fever of 38°C after being bitten by a mosquito. Parents should remain calm and respond appropriately. Implement physical cooling methods, such as wiping the body with lukewarm water and applying fever patches. Encourage the baby to drink more warm water to promote sweating and reduce body temperature. Pay attention to the care of the bite site, avoid scratching by the baby to prevent infection, and apply appropriate anti-itch ointment if necessary. If the baby's fever persists or other symptoms appear, such as lethargy or poor appetite, seek medical attention promptly so that the doctor can provide appropriate treatment based on the illness. Before visiting the doctor, parents should closely observe and record the baby's temperature fluctuations and other symptoms to assist the doctor in accurately assessing the condition. Additionally, parents should enhance mosquito prevention measures to avoid further mosquito bites.
