Question
My child has been disobedient and constantly crying and restless recently, with a high fever of unknown origin. Medical checks have not found any abnormalities, and I am seeking advice on how to handle the situation.
Answer
First, you can try using alcohol-based sponge baths to help your child cool down. Next, it’s important to further investigate the cause of the fever, as there are many possible causes, the most common being infection. Other possibilities include connective tissue diseases and malignant tumors. It is not advisable to rush into medication treatment before the cause is determined. Doctors recommend drinking plenty of water, ensuring adequate rest, and may suggest intravenous fluids and high-dose antibiotic treatment while closely monitoring your child’s condition and medication response.
