Question
What are the possible causes of repeated fever in children under five?
Answer
Repeated fever in young children may be caused by infections, such as viral or bacterial infections. In most cases, if the body temperature does not exceed 38.5 degrees Celsius, observation and appropriate nursing measures can be taken, such as increasing fluid intake and using fever-reducing patches. If the body temperature exceeds 38.5 degrees Celsius, fever-reducing medication like ibuprofen or acetaminophen can be used under a doctor’s guidance. Additionally, ensuring that the child gets enough rest, a balanced diet, and a cool, well-ventilated environment can also help alleviate fever symptoms. If the fever persists or is accompanied by other symptoms, it is important to seek medical attention promptly.
