Patient's question:
The baby vomited two days ago, and everything they ate came back up. Later, they started having a fever, around 38°C. At the hospital, their white blood cell count was slightly elevated. Two days ago, they ate a little bit of chewed rice. How can the baby get better quickly? Are there any home remedies or other methods that can help the baby recover faster? The baby has had a fever for two days.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. Common causes include colds. For fever, it is essential to first identify the underlying cause and address it accordingly. High temperatures can easily lead to febrile seizures in children, so it is necessary to control the body temperature. The main methods for reducing fever are medication and physical cooling. Specific medications should preferably be used under the guidance of a doctor.
