Patient's question:
My baby is 5 years old. There is no regular fever, with one episode of fever a day, temperature over 38 degrees Celsius. The diet is normal, bowel movements are normal, and they don't fuss much. It's just that the fever comes out of nowhere. The injections don't work either, and there's no need for a skin test. What could be the reason? What should I do?Doctor's answer:
The causes of fever in children are numerous, and clinical diagnosis can be divided into infectious and non-infectious, with infectious causes being more common. Common infectious 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 ideally be used under the guidance of a doctor, such as taking ibuprofen. The above advice is in response to the question "Why does my child always have a fever?" and is hoped to be helpful to you. Wishing you good health!
