Question
What should I do when my child has a fever that fluctuates between high and low?
Answer
When a child has a fever, parents should remain calm and composed, avoiding panic. First, analyze the cause of the fever, which could be due to viral or bacterial infection, or other non-infectious factors. Next, observe the type and duration of the fever, as well as accompanying symptoms. Most importantly, avoid inappropriate use of antibiotics, as this may suppress the body’s immune function and affect the body’s ability to resist disease.
