A one-year-old baby has a fever in the first half of the night and sweats to lower the temperature in the second half of the night. What's going on?

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

Multiple considerations suggest infectious fever, which may be caused by viral or bacterial infections. Physical cooling methods should be adopted, such as applying cold compresses to the forehead. If the temperature exceeds 38.5°C, medication like ibuprofen suspension can be used for fever reduction. The primary treatment should focus on addressing the underlying cause.
