To reduce fever in a 1-year-old baby, you can:
- Keep room temperature comfortable (not too hot or cold), avoid heavy clothing—lightweight, breathable clothing is sufficient.
- Apply lukewarm compresses — you can place a lukewarm (neither hot nor cold) cloth on the forehead, armpit, and groin area. Avoid cold water or alcohol.
- Offer plenty of fluids — if still breastfeeding/formula-fed, increase frequency; if eating solids, offer water or broth-like fluids.
If you're considering fever-reducing medication (acetaminophen or ibuprofen), always use the dose your doctor recommended based on your baby's weight. Never use a dosage you think is right or give two different medications at the same time.
When to see a doctor:
- If fever is 39°C or higher
- If it lasts longer than 3 days
- If your baby seems restless, drowsy, having trouble breathing, or having seizures
- If fever is accompanied by rash, vomiting, or diarrhea
In these cases, consult a pediatrician without delay.
