How do you bring down a fever?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Fever is just a symptom of any underlying infection or inflammation and it will come down only when the cause is treated. Cold water either in the form of drinking or tepid sponging helps in controlling core body temperature in fever.

View allMy 7-month-old daughter has labial fusion for the past 2 days. My wife cleans her daily but noticed the labia sticking together. She pees fine, but the doctor said it's from infection and prescribed clotrimazole vaginal gel and levofloxacin ornidazole suspension. We started the meds a day ago but no improvement yet. I read it's called labial adhesion should I be worried about surgery at her age? What else can we do?
sx opinion is advised.

I'm really concerned about my 3-month-old baby because my husband drinks alcohol every day and sleeps right next to the baby. I'm worried if this could affect our baby in any way. Are there any possible side effects I should be aware of?
It's understandable to be concerned. If your husband is drinking alcohol regularly, there's a risk of accidental exposure to secondhand alcohol or other issues, especially if he's not fully alert while sleeping next to the baby. It's important to ensure a safe, sober environment for your baby to avoid any risks, including suffocation or impaired caregiving.
