What should I do if my child has been having frequent fever?

Patient's question:

The son doesn't know what's wrong recently, he keeps having fever. It goes down for a while, then starts getting high again. I don't know what's going on. Today, I took him to Beijing Angel Children's Hospital, and the doctor examined him and prescribed medicine. I want to ask if there are children like this? What kind of care should be given now?

Doctor's answer:

The reasons for a baby's fever are mostly caused by colds or some bacterial infections. In this case, it is important to first make a clear diagnosis and not to blindly reduce the fever. High fever definitely has a reason, and the likelihood of upper respiratory tract infection is relatively high. You can take the child to the hospital for examination to find the cause. After identifying the cause, active treatment should be given. The improvement of symptoms mainly depends on the improvement of physical fitness. To improve a child's physical fitness, it is recommended to take them outdoors more often. As the weather gets cooler, it is advisable to add clothes gradually and not to wear too many clothes.
