POOJA KOTHARIMom of a 8 yr 5 m old boy6 months agoA. A 101°F fever in a 1-month-old baby is considered high, and in newborns, fever can be a sign of a serious infection. Since you've given homeopathy medicine, you can also try some home remedies, but if the fever persists or increases, consult a doctor immediately.
🚨 When to See a Doctor Urgently
✔ If fever lasts more than 24 hours.
✔ Baby is lethargic, irritable, or not feeding well.
✔ Signs of dehydration (dry lips, no urine for 6+ hours).
✔ Difficulty breathing or continuous crying.
✔ Fever crosses 102°F.
✅ Home Remedies for Mild Fever
1️⃣ Dress Lightly – Avoid heavy blankets, keep baby in soft cotton clothes.
2️⃣ Lukewarm Sponge Bath – Use a soft cloth with lukewarm water to gently wipe the baby’s body.
3️⃣ Keep Baby Hydrated – Continue breastfeeding frequently to prevent dehydration.
4️⃣ Monitor Temperature Every 2-3 Hours – Use a digital thermometer.
🩺 If Fever Persists:
Even if you're giving homeopathy, you may need paracetamol drops (Crocin drops) as per pediatrician’s advice for fever control.
👉 Since your baby is very young, I strongly recommend consulting a pediatrician immediately to rule out any infection. Let me know if you need any guidance!
