Fever in babies, which is when the temperature is above 37.5ºC. Is a fever a sign of illness? Not always. The increase in temperature is caused by heat, excess clothing, teething or a reaction to a vaccine. When to worry? The most worrying thing is when the fever is caused by an infection with viruses, fungi or bacteria, and in this case, the fever most commonly comes on quickly and high, and does not subside with simple measures, requiring the use of medication. What are these simple measures? Remove excess clothing from the baby; Offer liquids to the baby, which can be milk or water; Bathe the baby in warm water (36 degrees); Place towels soaked in cold water on the forehead; nape of the neck; armpits and groin.
