Question
What causes a child to suddenly develop a fever?
Answer
There are many reasons for a baby to develop a fever, including viral and bacterial infections. During this season, common causes of fever in babies are respiratory infections, particularly viral infections. If the fever persists for a longer period, there may be a risk of bacterial infection. It is recommended to give the baby the medication prescribed by the doctor on time, use fever-reducing patches, drink plenty of water. If the body temperature exceeds 38.5°C, consider giving oral fever-reducing medication. After sweating, you can give the baby a warm bath.
