How to deal with a one-year-old child with a fever but no cold

Patient's question:

Hello!
My child just turned one year old. Today, he has a slight fever but no cold symptoms. His current temperature is 38.7 degrees.
What could be the reason, and what should I do?

Doctor's answer:

Infants and young children with fever without cold symptoms may have indigestion. Pay attention to observing the child's bowel movements. Oral digestive aid medication can be given in combination with fever-reducing drugs for treatment. There are many factors that can affect the respiratory system in children. If the child is diagnosed with a respiratory system issue, parents need to cooperate with the doctor in active treatment, cooperate with gastrointestinal decompression, and develop good hygiene habits. The child needs a balanced diet and should avoid stimulating and cold foods.
