Patient's question:
The baby is four years old this year. A few days ago, he suddenly had a high fever, and the hospital said it was a viral fever, so they prescribed some medicine, which lasted for two days. Later, we noticed that he blinked his eyes excessively, sometimes forcefully blinking a few times (with no other discomfort symptoms). Hello doctor, what could be the reason for this? Can you take a look?Medical history and treatment outcomes: No treatment has been administered. The kind of help desired: As parents, we are very eager to know what could be the cause of this. Can you take a look? Looking forward to your reply!
Doctor's answer:
The causes of fever in children are quite numerous, and clinical diagnosis can be divided into infectious and non-infectious categories, with infectious causes being more common. Symptoms like fever are the most common causes. For fever, it is essential to first identify the underlying cause and then address it accordingly. High body temperature can easily lead to febrile seizures in children. Therefore, it is also necessary to control the body temperature, primarily by using medication and physical cooling methods. Specific medications should ideally be used under the guidance of a doctor.
