A member asked:

6 month old baby has a 38.5 degree fever. what should i do?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Hydrate, Tylenol: Fever alone is no reason to worry at 6 months, if no response to hydration and Tylenol go see doctor if temp still above 38, talk to Pediatrician about level of activity, playfulness, ans ability to feed
