Patient's question:
I don't know what's going on, but my child has been misbehaving and crying non-stop lately. Even the hospital check-up didn't help. Could you please explain what's happening—my child has a fever but no other symptoms?Doctor's answer:
Hello, fever in children is a common phenomenon, usually caused by colds. Since children's thermoregulation centers are not yet fully developed, they are easily affected by external factors, leading to fluctuations in body temperature. Generally, it is recommended not to exceed 38 degrees Celsius, and there is no need to take fever-reducing medication. Physical cooling methods can be used, such as applying alcohol to the body and washing the face and forehead with warm water. If the temperature exceeds 38 degrees Celsius, it is generally advisable to take ibuprofen suspension or naproxen.
