Baby's pharyngitis has repeated fever

The health of the baby is the most basic wish of every parent. No one wants the child to suffer from the disease at such a young age. However, the younger the child is, the weaker the body resistance is. In particular, the child is prone to colds and fevers. Once the fever occurs, the throat will inevitably be inflamed. So what can parents do to help their children cure the disease? How should parents take care of babies with repeated pharyngitis and fever?

Fever is a clinical symptom caused by potential infection or inflammation in the body. The cause can be mild or severe. If there are no other symptoms, it may simply be an imbalance in the body's temperature control center. But severe cases may be life-threatening. Especially if there are symptoms other than fever, it may be the cause of the disease and should not be ignored.

10 possible reasons:

1. Colds, whether common colds or influenza, are the most common diseases in babies. Both bacterial and viral infections are possible.

2. Inflammation of the ear, nose and throat. Problems with the ear, nose and throat usually cause inflammation, so there will be redness and swelling. It is a viral infection. Symptoms vary, common ones include fever, cough, runny nose, red and swollen throat (babies are usually unwilling to eat), etc.

3. Roseola, named after the roseola virus infection. Babies around 1 year old are most likely to get it. The typical symptoms are unexplained high fever (above 39°C) that lasts about 3 to 4 days, followed by a rash (the fever will subside at this time). The rash usually disappears slowly without leaving any scars or other complications, so parents do not need to worry.

4. Vaccinations. Many babies have mild fever due to vaccinations, but more obvious fever usually occurs after the injection of "diphtheria, whooping cough, and tetanus" vaccines.

5. Sepsis, which is a disease in which bacteria invade the blood.

6. Urinary tract infection is more common in boys and girls under 1 year old. For baby girls, it is usually caused by feces or diapers; for baby boys, it is caused by bladder and ureteral reflux.

7. Encephalitis and meningitis are common in babies between 6 months and 3 years old. The most typical and threatening symptom is a high fever that can easily reach over 39°C. It is also accompanied by mental fatigue, dull eyes, poor appetite, and even cramps.

8. Fevers caused by wearing too much, teething, and summer heat are usually short-lived and not dangerous, but they are often overlooked by many parents.

9. Gastroenteritis combined with dehydration is divided into two types: bacterial (Salmonella) infection and viral (rotavirus) infection. Symptoms include: vomiting, diarrhea, urinary incontinence, decreased appetite, poor spirits, and fever above 38.5°C (combined with dehydration).

10. Kawasaki disease. Babies aged 1 to 1.5 years are at high risk of this disease, and the cause is still unknown.
