Question
My baby has a high fever every few days. They had an intravenous drip for a week last time, and now they have a slight fever again. Today, they also have diarrhea with very loose stools and a dark green color.
Answer
The causes of pediatric fever are numerous, and clinical diagnosis can be divided into infectious and non-infectious, with infectious causes being more common. Fever is one of the most common causes, and it’s essential to first identify the cause of the fever before implementing solutions. High body temperature can easily lead to pediatric febrile convulsions, so it’s also necessary to control body temperature. This primarily involves using medication for temperature reduction and physical methods of cooling, and it’s best to use medication under a doctor’s guidance.
