Hello, most fevers are caused by infections. The pathogens causing infections can include bacteria, viruses, mycoplasma, and so on, with the first two being the most common. It is recommended to have your child tested for a complete blood count, which can help determine whether the infection is bacterial or viral, allowing for targeted treatment. For low-grade fever, increasing fluid intake can help lower the temperature to normal. Generally, antipyretic drugs are not recommended. If the temperature is above 38.5°C, it is advisable to increase fluid intake while also taking antipyretic medication. If an infection is present, it is necessary to take both anti-infection and antiviral medications, and it is important to drink plenty of fluids.
