Question
How should one handle a four-year-old child who has repeated fever attacks, and then experiences low-grade fever after being given intravenous fluids for fever reduction?
Answer
There are many causes of pediatric fever, including both infectious and non-infectious factors, with infectious factors being the most common. When a child experiences repeated episodes of fever, it is essential to first diagnose the cause and then take appropriate treatment measures based on the cause. When the body temperature is too high, medication for cooling and physical cooling methods should be used to control the temperature, in order to prevent fever-related seizures. Using medication under a doctor’s guidance is necessary.
