Question

My child has a fever with no other symptoms. The fever is intermittent and reaches up to 39 degrees. The appetite is normal, and no inflammation has been found in the throat. What could be the cause and how should it be handled?

Answer

The child’s fever may be caused by a viral infection. It is recommended to check routine blood test (blood routine) to determine the cause. If there are no other symptoms, symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication and fever-reducing drugs can be used, and you should observe for any rash, as this may be a sign of pediatric exanthema.
