What should I do if I suddenly have a low but persistent fever?

Patient's question:

My child is just a few months old. The child got cold while playing outside during the day and had a fever after coming back. Just now, they suddenly had a seizure. Hello, a child's fever can cause seizures. I would like to know what to do if I suddenly have a low but persistent fever?

Doctor's answer:

Fever is a symptom. Chronic inflammation, immune dysfunction, and other diseases can lead to persistent low-grade fever. Any problem in the body's systems may also cause persistent low-grade fever. The causes of high fever are difficult to identify through routine blood, urine, and stool tests. For some high fevers caused by bacterial infections, bacterial culture is required to detect them. Persistent low-grade fever should be diagnosed as early as possible, and comprehensive examinations should be conducted promptly to prevent the underlying cause of fever from worsening.
