Patient's question:
These days the weather has been very hot, and we've been eating a lot of cold foods at home. Yesterday, the baby also ate too much cold food, but starting today, they've been running a fever and showing symptoms of being sick. I'd like to ask for advice on what to do when a baby runs a fever after eating cold food?Doctor's answer:
The causes of fever in children are quite numerous and can be clinically categorized as infectious and non-infectious, with infectious causes being more common. Advice: Common causes include colds, among others. For fever, it is essential to first identify the underlying cause and then treat accordingly. High temperatures can easily lead to febrile seizures in children, so it is necessary to control the temperature. This is primarily achieved through medication and physical cooling methods. Specific medications are best used under the guidance of a doctor.
