What are the reasons for a low fever that doesn't go away in a 10-year-old child?

Patient's question:

My child is 10 years old this year. Recently, he has been experiencing low-grade fever that doesn't go away and has significantly decreased appetite. What could be the reason for this?
Duration and onset of the current illness: 3 days
Current general condition: Decreased appetite
Medical history: None

Doctor's answer:

Did you go to the hospital for a comprehensive check-up? Low-grade fever? What is the temperature? Further diagnosis and treatment can only be carried out. Take a chest X-ray to check for lung inflammation. Treatment for Mycoplasma infection should see the body temperature return to normal. Check if there is a bacterial infection. Infusion of antibiotics is not appropriate. Is the complete blood count and C-reactive protein normal? As long as the child exhibits this action, the child's consciousness is clear, and there is no problem.
