Patient's question:
My daughter is one and a half years old now. In the past two days, she has been normal during the day but has had a fever of 38℃ at night, and she also has no appetite during the day, only drinking some milk! Could you please ask an expert to interpret this? Why is this happening? What should I do?Doctor's answer:
Fever in children is a common clinical symptom in pediatric patients. In most cases, fever is a protective response of the body fighting against invading pathogens and is a process where the human immune system is activated to resist infection. However, high fever or prolonged fever can impair various regulatory functions of the body, thereby affecting the health of children. Therefore, when a child has a fever, it is important to actively identify the cause and treat the underlying condition.
