Question
Dear, my daughter is 13 years old, and she has been experiencing body fever recently, along with complaints of body pain, but I’m not sure what’s causing it. How should one deal with frequent fever?
Answer
Firstly, it’s important to identify the cause of the fever before appropriate treatment can be administered. It is recommended to conduct blood tests like routine blood count and erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) based on the severity and duration of the fever to further understand the condition. In young people, recurrent fever is often caused by bacterial or viral infections, with very few cases being due to aseptic inflammation. Lastly, during the treatment period, patients should maintain a healthy diet, regular lifestyle, actively participate in physical exercise, regulate their mental and physical health, and maintain personal hygiene to avoid bacterial invasion due to decreased resistance.
