Question
When a child has a fever, should you choose pediatrics or surgery for consultation?
Answer
Generally, a child’s fever is often caused by inflammation, and in such cases, it is advisable to visit a pediatrician. Unless the fever is due to an injury, in which case pediatric surgery may be considered. Common causes of fever include bacterial, viral, and mycoplasma infections. It is recommended to undergo routine blood tests to determine the cause of the fever and to receive targeted treatment based on the results of the examination. Additionally, encourage the child to drink plenty of water to help alleviate symptoms.
