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, so it is also necessary to control the body temperature. The main methods for reducing body temperature are medication and physical cooling. Specific medications should preferably be used under the guidance of a doctor.
