A member asked:

I have a 2 weeks-old premature baby that caught fever yesterday and he is pukes milk when being fed. too late to take him in to see a doctor today. what medicine must we get for him to at least neutralise the infection and body temperature?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Fever ?: Any baby that age with a body temperature over 38C/100.4F should be seen immediately. Germs passed to baby through the birthing process can be rapidly fatal in less than 24 hours. Most viral self healing germs do not infect newborns because they have antibodies from their mother. Go immediately to a hospital Er or your doc. There is no time to waste.
