Question
A child under two years old has a normal spirit during the day but their body temperature rises to around 38.5 degrees at night. What are the possible causes and medication suggestions?
Answer
The cause of a child’s fever may be infectious or non-infectious, with infectious causes being more common, such as a cold. It is important to identify the cause of the fever clearly, treat symptoms accordingly, and take medication and physical cooling measures. It is recommended to use medication under a doctor’s guidance to avoid causing the child to have a febrile seizure.
