Question

The child has had a high fever for four consecutive nights, but the cause is unknown. The child’s mood has also been unstable recently, crying and fussing constantly, and even after medical examination, the cause of the fever has not been found.

Answer

An 8-year-old child having a high fever for four consecutive nights may be due to a pathogenic bacterial infection, such as a viral or bacterial infection. It is recommended to further conduct blood routine tests to determine the condition, which usually requires intravenous treatment, as simple medication may not be effective. Additionally, since the child has been diagnosed with respiratory system issues, parents should cooperate with the doctor’s treatment, including gastrointestinal decompression and developing good hygiene habits. Parents should also pay attention to not letting the child develop picky eating habits and should provide balanced nutrition.
