Fever in babies has many causes—most viral, some bacterial, and some non-infectious such as post-vaccine fever or overheating. Treatment combines supportive care with cause-directed medicine when needed.
Do not start leftover antibiotics. Persistent, severe, or monsoon-related fever patterns need timely evaluation by a clinician.
