Patient's question:
Female, 2 years old, my child has always had poor physical health. She often gets fever and colds. Now, I want to know what causes recurrent fever in children?Doctor's answer:
The baby has intermittent fever. At the beginning of the illness, there were symptoms of runny nose and cough. After treatment, the body temperature returned to normal, and the runny nose and cough were relieved. Now, the fever has returned. It is considered to be acute upper respiratory tract infection. The cause may be that the condition is not well-controlled, or the baby has caught a cold again. Some heat-clearing and detoxifying drugs can be taken orally. Besides the sputum rales, focus on taking expectorant drugs for the throat. Most respiratory infections in children are viral infections. Before it is certain that there is inflammation, it is best not to take anti-inflammatory drugs. It is recommended to check a blood test to see the white blood cell count. At the same time, you can ask a doctor to auscultate the lungs to check the lung condition. Pay attention to the changes in the baby's body temperature. If the high fever persists or recurs, it is necessary to return for follow-up promptly.
