Question
The child had a fever during the day with two blisters inside the mouth. After playing outside yesterday and coming home, the fever returned. After taking antipyretic medication, the fever subsided temporarily, but it came back again to 39.6 degrees Celsius after a bath last night. This morning, the doctor found blisters in the mouth and a white blister on the foot. The child received an injection for treatment this morning, and the fever has since subsided.
Answer
Fever can be caused by infections or other reasons, common causes including infections, connective tissue diseases, and malignant tumors. Fever can sometimes help enhance the immune system to eliminate pathogens. In children, further examinations may be necessary to determine the cause. If diagnosed with a respiratory system infection, measures such as gastrointestinal decompression and maintaining good hygiene habits may be required. Parents should pay attention to their child’s balanced diet and avoid picky eating habits.
