Question
My child is 14 months old and has a fever of up to 38.2°C. The fever occurs repeatedly, with runny yellow nose and a sore throat, but the fever subsides after taking medication and then recurs the next day. The child’s spirit is still good. What could be the matter?
Answer
A one-year-old baby with repeated episodes of fever, accompanied by a sore throat and runny nose, without any rash appearing after the fever subsides, does not suggest pediatric exanthema. It is recommended to drink plenty of water and be aware of possible bacterial or mycoplasma infections. A urine test can be conducted to determine the cause of the illness, allowing for symptomatic treatment.
