Question
What factors can lead to low fever in the afternoon? My nephew is one and a half years old, and he has had a fever every afternoon for the past three days, with temperatures below 39 degrees Celsius, poor spirits, no coughing, and no runny nose. He also has vomiting at night. What could be the cause?
Answer
Be aware of the possibility of viral influenza, tonsillitis, otitis media, or even less apparent pneumonia. Consult a doctor for a clear diagnosis. Then, discuss treatment options. Of course, the first step is to control the body temperature promptly, followed by treatment targeted at the underlying cause.
