Question
A 15-month-old baby keeps on having fevers, and medical checks have not shown any abnormalities. What are the possible causes and coping strategies?
Answer
Fever is a response of the immune system to fight off infections, helping to suppress the replication of certain viruses and bacteria. If the child is diagnosed with a respiratory system infection, immediate treatment should be administered, and parents should follow the doctor’s advice for related treatment. Parents should also pay attention to their child’s diet, avoiding giving stimulating and cold foods, and maintaining good hygiene habits.
