Question
Why do children get a fever?
Answer
When a child suddenly develops a fever and the temperature reaches 39 degrees, parents should immediately administer oral fever-reducing medication to avoid the risk of febrile convulsions. At the same time, physical cooling methods can be used, and close observation should be made for any other symptoms, such as mental state and appetite. Additionally, it is important to ensure that the child drinks plenty of water, eats a light and easily digestible diet, and avoids greasy foods. Since fever may recur after infection, temperature changes should be monitored.
