Doctor's answer:
The causes of fever in children are quite numerous, and clinical diagnosis can be divided into infectious and non-infectious, with infectious causes being more common. Fever is one of the most common causes. For fever, it is essential to first identify the underlying cause and address it accordingly. High body temperature can easily lead to febrile seizures in children. Therefore, it is necessary to control the body temperature, primarily through medication and physical cooling methods. Specific medications should ideally be used under the guidance of a doctor.
