Patient's question:
Daughter is 1 year and 4 months old. She has had a low fever of 37.1-37.4 for 3 consecutive days. She can eat, play, and sleep normally. Blood test shows normal white blood cell count. What could be the reason? Thank you.Doctor's answer:
The normal body temperature curve varies at different times of the day, with the highest temperature around 3 PM, reaching up to 37.3 degrees. Therefore, if your baby experiences a one-time temperature increase after waking up in the afternoon without any other discomfort, it should be considered a normal phenomenon.There are many factors that can affect the respiratory system in children. If the child is diagnosed with a respiratory issue, parents need to cooperate with the doctor for timely treatment, including gastric decompression, and develop good hygiene habits. The child should have a balanced diet and avoid stimulating and cold foods.
