Why are babies prone to low-grade fever

Patient's question:

I don't know what's going on, but my child has been misbehaving lately and crying non-stop. Even the hospital check-up didn't help. Why are infants prone to low-grade fever?

Doctor's answer:

In your case, you can first use alcohol to bathe for fever reduction, and then identify the cause of the fever. There are many reasons that can cause fever, the most common being infection, followed by connective tissue diseases, malignant tumors, etc. Don't rush to take medication. Generally, if the body temperature exceeds 37.3°C, it indicates a fever and needs timely treatment. This temperature is not high, so you can let the baby drink more water, pay attention to keeping warm, and avoid getting cold.
