Patient's question:
My son is 12 years old. Last night, there was nothing unusual before dinner, but a few hours after dinner, I suddenly noticed that he had a fever. His temperature was 38.5 degrees. So, I wanted to ask you, Doctor, what causes fever in children?Doctor's answer:
Hello, fever in children is generally considered to be caused by bacterial or viral infections. The current body temperature should first be treated with fever-reducing medication while also using physical methods to lower the temperature. Then, blood tests should be conducted to check the blood routine, followed by anti-inflammatory or antiviral treatment. Drink more water, rest well, and avoid overheating. It is also important to pay attention to boosting immunity and increasing the frequency of colds in daily life.
