What is the reason for the child's repeated high fever?

Because the baby's body is not fully developed, his resistance is relatively poor and he often catches colds and fevers. Fever is common for children. However, some children may have a fever that subsides and then recurs, and this condition may last for several days. In fact, this situation is very harmful to the baby's body. If you experience recurring fever, be sure to seek timely treatment. But what exactly causes children to have repeated high fevers?

1. Causes of recurrent fever in children

Because children have poor ability to adapt to the external environment and their immune systems are not yet fully developed, any discomfort can easily lead to fever symptoms, or their body temperature may rise again quickly after taking medicine to reduce the fever. Especially in the hot summer, if parents use the air conditioner improperly or the baby drinks less water and cannot adapt to the high temperature weather, it will cause repeated fever.

There are many causes of fever: mainly bacterial and viral invasion, which cause respiratory and gastrointestinal infections and lead to fever. What parents can do is to provide adequate nutrition according to the child's age and physical development, and add complementary foods in a timely, reasonable and balanced manner.

Parents should be especially reminded that if their child has a fever for more than three consecutive days without improvement or if the baby has a high fever or convulsions, they should seek medical attention in time to identify the cause and provide symptomatic treatment.

2. Treatment of recurrent fever in children

Generally, if a child's fever is below 38.5℃, parents should adopt physical cooling methods, such as drinking more water, applying fever-reducing patches, etc. If the baby's limbs and hands and feet are warm and the whole body is sweating, it means that heat needs to be dissipated. The child can wear fewer clothes and do not abuse drugs. When a child's fever is above 38.5℃, it is best to give the child medication under the guidance of a doctor.

In fact, there are many reasons why children have repeated fevers. For example, bacteria and viral infections can easily lead to repeated fevers. If the repeated fever lasts for more than three days, it is recommended to seek medical attention in time. For general fever, as long as it is not higher than 38.5 degrees, it can be reduced by physical cooling methods. If it exceeds 38.5 degrees, you need to see a doctor immediately.
