Patient's question:
What should I do if my child suddenly has a fever at night?Doctor's answer:
A child suddenly develops a high fever at night, which often leaves parents feeling helpless. In fact, except for a few more serious illnesses that require immediate hospitalization, if the high fever is caused by a cold, gastroenteritis, or similar conditions, there is no need to rush to the hospital. Instead, simple care should be provided first, while closely monitoring the child's mental state. Then, a decision can be made whether to take the child to the hospital for treatment.
