Patient's question:
Hello. A child has a fever. Which department should they go to? Surgery or Internal Medicine? Should a child with a fever go to the surgery department or the internal medicine department?Doctor's answer:
Hello, if a baby has a fever, it is usually caused by inflammation. In this case, it is necessary to visit a pediatric internal medicine department. Unless it is caused by an injury, then it should be seen by a pediatric surgery department. Generally, fever is commonly caused by bacterial, viral, or mycoplasma infections. You can have a blood test to determine the cause and then take targeted medication. Make sure the child drinks plenty of water.
