Patient's question:
Recently, he often has high fever at night. Because he is too young, I didn't give him any medicine. I used physical cooling methods, and the effect at that time was okay, but, on the night of the third day, he still had high fever. What could be the reason? Should I use a little bit of medicine?Past treatment history and effectiveness: He has never had a fever. What kind of help is needed: How to deal with the high fever issue?
Doctor's answer:
The most common cause of fever in children is respiratory infections, followed by conditions like food accumulation causing fever. Advice: Carefully observe any other symptoms that appear in addition to the fever. If necessary, consult a doctor for diagnosis and treatment targeting the underlying cause. Only when the cause is removed can the body temperature return to normal. If there are no other symptoms and physical cooling methods can lower the temperature, medication may not be needed. The above advice is for the question "What should I do if my 8-month-old baby has a fever?" and is hoped to be helpful. Wishing you good health!
