Other factors, such as high metabolic rate of neonates, lack of sweat glands, and head injury, can also cause neonatal fever.

For neonatal hyperthermia, in addition to physical cooling, it is also necessary to find out the cause of hyperthermia, and then proceed according to the cause**.

If antipyretic drugs are given at home combined with physical cooling, and the temperature does not return to normal or is still in a state of high fever, it is necessary to go to the hospital for **, and if necessary, antipyretic drugs can be used for intravenous infusion or intramuscular injection**, and it is also necessary to actively cooperate with physical cooling.
