Question
How to treat recurring low fever in infants?
Answer
For the issue of recurring low fever in infants and young children, you can first use alcohol-based sponge baths to help reduce the fever, then further identify the cause of the fever. Since fever can be caused by infections, connective tissue diseases, or malignant tumors, it is not recommended to rush into medication before determining the cause. Additionally, pediatric diabetes insipidus can also lead to low fever symptoms in infants and young children. This condition is caused by hypothalamic-pituitary issues leading to insufficient secretion and release of antidiuretic hormone, or renal response defects to ADH, characterized by thirst, polydipsia, polyuria, and low specific gravity of urine.
