Patient's question:
Girl, the child is 13 years old. Recently, the child has had a fever and said that their body hurts, but they don't know what's wrong. Please ask; what should I do if I often have a fever?Doctor's answer:
First, it is necessary to identify the cause of the fever before treating it accordingly. Based on the degree of fever and duration, it is recommended to undergo blood tests such as a complete blood count, ESR, and ASO to further assess the condition. In young people, repeated fever is mostly caused by bacterial or viral infections, with very few cases being due to sterile inflammation. Lastly, during treatment, patients should follow a balanced diet, maintain a regular schedule, actively participate in physical exercise, regulate their physical and mental health, and maintain personal hygiene to avoid bacterial invasion due to weakened immunity.
