Why are children prone to fever at night

Patient's question:

Hello, why do children often have fever at night? Why do children always have repeated fever at night?

Doctor's answer:

Fever can be caused by various factors such as pneumonia, upper respiratory tract infection, acute gastroenteritis, or central nervous system infection, among others. It may also be due to significant temperature differences between indoors and outdoors, leading to blocked pores and inability to sweat, which can result in fever. If there is only fever without other symptoms, and the temperature exceeds 38.5°C, you can give them fever-reducing medication. For temperatures below this, physical cooling methods are sufficient. During this time, it is important to drink plenty of water, eat fresh fruits and vegetables, and avoid spicy or irritating foods. Wishing you good health.
