When a baby has a fever, we usually have to find the cause first. Most babies tend to have recurrent fevers, so we need to provide good treatment and regular baby care.

A healthy immune system has three major functions, the first of which is defense. Strong immunity can help the body eliminate foreign bacteria and viruses and avoid diseases, and has the defensive ability to protect the body from damage; the second is stabilizing function. Good immune function can help the body repair or eliminate metabolic, damaged or aged dead tissue cells in the human body, and maintain the internal environment of the body's metabolism in a stable state at all times; the third is the monitoring function. Strong immunity can help the body kill and eliminate abnormal mutated cells.

Generally speaking, fever is caused by viral infection. Most viral infections can heal themselves and the prognosis is relatively good. If the body temperature exceeds 38.5, it needs to be treated. Since the immune system of infants is not fully developed, fever is prone to recurrence. Generally, babies have repeated fever symptoms, which is mainly caused by viral infection. The fever usually lasts for 3-5 days. It is recommended to take oral Motrin antipyretic drugs for symptomatic treatment if the body temperature exceeds 38.58.
