Question
A child started experiencing a fever yesterday without any other symptoms, such as coughing. Last night, the highest body temperature reached 39.1℃, and the temperature has remained above 38℃ today. The child took 4 milliliters of ibuprofen when the temperature was below 38.5℃, which brought the temperature down to 38℃. From 9 pm last night until now, the ibuprofen has been taken three times.
Answer
Based on the information you provided and the examination results, it is still unclear of the specific situation. Consider administering some antiviral medications to the child. Sometimes, symptoms of upper respiratory tract infections in children may appear later than the fever. Generally, children’s fevers are mainly caused by viral infections. That’s all there is to know about “children suddenly developing fever without other symptoms.” Lastly, I wish the child a speedy recovery and a healthy life.
