Question

What are the causes of frequent fever in children?

Answer

The causes of fever in children are quite diverse. It is essential to first clarify the cause of the fever and implement solutions accordingly. High body temperature can easily lead to febrile seizures in children, so it is also necessary to control the temperature. The recommended approach is to use both medication for temperature reduction and physical temperature reduction methods. It is best to use medication under a doctor’s guidance. Additionally, nausea and vomiting caused by long-term medication can recover on their own after stopping the medication. Generally, if the fever is below 38 degrees, it is necessary to use antipyretics. If the temperature does not reach 38 degrees, it is generally not necessary to use antipyretics, with physical temperature reduction as the basis. Use a 37℃ warm towel to rub all over the body, and drink plenty of warm water.
