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. Examples include fever, which is the most common cause. For fever, it is essential to first identify the underlying cause. Recommendations: address the cause accordingly. High temperatures can easily lead to febrile seizures in children, so it is necessary to control the body temperature. The main methods are drug-induced cooling and physical cooling. Specific medications should preferably be used under the guidance of a doctor.
