Patient's question:
My son is 12 years old. Last night, there was nothing unusual before dinner, but a few hours after dinner, I noticed his body was feverish. His temperature measured 38.5 degrees Celsius, 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 over-wrapping. It is also important to pay attention to boosting immunity and increasing the frequency of colds in daily life.
