Question
My child has been acting up lately, crying and fussing constantly, and even after going to the hospital for a check-up, no issues were found. Is there a connection between fever and teething?
Answer
There are many causes of fever in children, with the most common being infection. Parents can first try using alcohol-based sponge baths to help reduce the child’s fever and then find out the cause of the fever. It is not recommended to rush into medication, as it may mask symptoms and affect the doctor’s diagnosis. If the child is diagnosed with a respiratory system disease, parents need to cooperate with the doctor for treatment, including methods such as gastrointestinal decompression, and pay attention to the child’s diet health, avoiding picky eating and maintaining good hygiene habits.
