Patient's question:
The baby only has a fever without coughing or other symptoms. The fever comes and goes, with a high point reaching 39 degrees Celsius. Dinner is also eaten normally, and there is no inflammation or swelling found in the throat. What could be the reason, and what should be done?Doctor's answer:
In the case of a child, there is a possibility of a viral infection. It is recommended to take the child to the hospital for a blood test. This situation is likely caused by inflammation, which could be due to a viral or bacterial infection. If the temperature is below 38.5°C, fever-reducing medication can be used. If there are no other symptoms, some heat-clearing and detoxifying medicine can be taken. Pay close attention to observe if there are any rashes on the child's body. Erythema infectiosum can also cause fever, and rashes may reappear after the fever subsides.
