Question
“Without knowing what’s wrong, my child has been very disobedient and crying constantly lately. We’ve gone to the hospital and the check-ups haven’t helped. What diseases should I be worried about if my 10-year-old keeps getting a fever?”
Answer
“You can first use alcohol to bathe your child to reduce the fever, then investigate the cause of the fever. There are many reasons for fever, the most common being infection, followed by connective tissue diseases and malignant tumors. Don’t rush into medication. Have your child take antibiotics, antiviral medications for treatment, and temporarily use fever-reducing medication. Encourage them to drink plenty of warm water. If the fever symptoms do not improve, it is recommended to go to the hospital for intravenous therapy for treatment.”
