Question
- The child had an upper respiratory infection and fever in late September, recovered after being treated with anti-inflammatory and antiviral medications, but started coughing and having clear nasal discharge from early October, which gradually subsided by the end of October.
- However, on the evening of November 5th, the child suddenly developed a high fever, vomited once, and reported having a headache.
Answer
The causes of a child’s fever are diverse, ranging from infectious to non-infectious, with infections being the most common. For fever, it is crucial to determine the cause and treat it accordingly. High fever can trigger febrile seizures in children, so it is necessary to control body temperature through medication for cooling and physical cooling methods. Medications should be used under a doctor’s guidance. We hope these suggestions are helpful to you. Wishing you good health.
