What causes a fever at night?

Patient's question:

Dear kind netizens,
I didn't bring the blood test results for my child with me, but according to my own observation and the doctor's in the outpatient department, they are all normal, with no signs of being too high or too low.
When my child was very young (1–5 years old), every Spring Festival, the firecracker sounds would scare her, causing her to have high fevers at night and speak incoherently. For this reason, our whole family also reviewed the situation, and recently there has been nothing to frighten her. I don’t understand why it only happened at night? And why intermittently?

Doctor's answer:

If the course of the disease is not long, it is considered to be caused by upper respiratory tract infections, etc. If it occurs for a long time, a detailed examination should be conducted to determine whether it is tuberculosis, malaria, or other diseases. After identifying the cause through a detailed examination, active treatment should be initiated. For infections, antibiotics should be used to actively control them, such as penicillin and levofloxacin. For fever, Anrik should be used in conjunction with physical cooling. Specific measures should follow the clinical physician's guidance.
There are many causes of pediatric endocrine diseases. If a child is diagnosed with pediatric endocrine disease, 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.
