A. For a 9-month-old baby with a high fever of 103°F (39.4°C), it’s important to reduce the fever safely and monitor the baby closely. The commonly recommended medicine is infant paracetamol (acetaminophen), given in the correct dose based on the baby’s weight. Avoid giving aspirin to babies due to the risk of Reye’s syndrome. You can also use ibuprofen if your pediatrician approves and the baby is older than 6 months, again following the proper dosage instructions. Apart from medicine, keep your baby comfortable by dressing them in light clothing, offering plenty of fluids, and maintaining a comfortable room temperature. If the fever lasts more than 2–3 days, the baby seems unusually irritable, lethargic, refuses to eat or drink, has difficulty breathing, or shows other worrying symptoms, seek medical attention immediately. Always consult your pediatrician before giving any medicine to confirm the right dose and ensure it’s safe for your baby.
