How to deal with a child's recurrent low fever

Patient's question:

What is wrong with the child who has been having low-grade fever on and off today? He doesn't cough, but he is in good spirits and is the same as before in all other aspects.
Past treatment history and effectiveness: It was not like this before.
What kind of help is needed: Hello doctor, what should I do?

Doctor's answer:

The causes of fever in children are quite numerous, and clinical diagnosis can be divided into infectious and non-infectious categories, with infectious causes being more common. Fever is one of the most common causes. For fever, it is essential to first identify the underlying cause and then address it accordingly. High body temperature can easily lead to febrile seizures in children. Therefore, it is necessary to control the body temperature, primarily by using drug-induced cooling and physical cooling methods. Specific medications should ideally be used under the guidance of a doctor.
