Infants and toddlers have a fever

Patient's question:

5 big ones started to have a fever, now it's been over 6 months. Every day from 5 to 6 PM, the temperature is between 38.5 and 38.8 degrees, usually around 37.2 degrees in the morning. After 15 days of hospitalization at Tianjin Children's Hospital, no cause of the fever was found.

Doctor's answer:

Fever is not an illness; it is simply a warning sign from the body, telling us that something might be wrong inside. It could be due to a disease factor, or it might not be. Why are young children prone to fever? Mainly because their thermoregulation center system is not yet fully developed, and their immune system is relatively weak, making them more susceptible to infections. Therefore, they often experience fever. It is recommended to visit the internal medicine department for examination and treatment.
