Patient's question:
My child is less than two years old. Currently, they are fine during the day, but their temperature is a bit high around 38.5°C when it's close to dawn at night. What could be the reason for this? What kind of medicine should they take? Thank you!Doctor's answer:
The causes of fever in children are quite numerous and can be clinically categorized as infectious and non-infectious, with infectious causes being more common.Guidelines: The most common causes include conditions like the common cold. For fever, it is essential to first identify the underlying cause and treat it accordingly. High temperatures can easily lead to febrile seizures in children, so it is necessary to control the body temperature. This is primarily achieved through medication and physical cooling methods. Specific medications are best used under the guidance of a doctor.
