Doctor's answer:

The causes of fever in children are quite numerous, and clinical diagnosis can be divided into infectious and non-infectious. Infectious causes are more common, such as fever, which is the most common cause. For fever, it is necessary to first identify the cause and then address it accordingly. High temperatures can easily lead to febrile seizures in children, so it is also necessary to control the body temperature. The main methods for reducing temperature are medication and physical cooling. Specific medications should preferably be used under the guidance of a doctor.
