What is the reason for the baby's fever of 37.4

During the baby's growth process, some unexpected things are inevitable. Among them, baby fever is a common thing. This makes many parents feel particularly worried, mainly because they are afraid that the baby will have unexpected situations. Especially sometimes, the baby has a fever and they don’t know what the cause is. So what is the reason for the baby's fever of 37.4? Let’s learn more about it through the following introduction.

There are many causes of fever in children, which can be roughly divided into the following three categories:

1. External factors:

Children's body temperature is affected by the external environment, such as wearing too many clothes when it is hot, drinking too little water, and poor ventilation in the room.

2. Internal factors:

Sickness, cold, tracheitis, sore throat or other illness.

3. Other factors:

Such as preventive injections, including measles, cholera, diphtheria, pertussis, tetanus and other reactions.

Fever is only one symptom of the disease, not all of it. Dr. Song Wenju, director of the pediatric department, said that when it comes to fever, doctors are concerned about the impact and progression of the disease itself, but parents usually only see the appearance of the disease, such as fever, vomiting, and coughing, and then become panicked. Little do people know that when doctors treat diseases, the most important thing is to discover the cause of the disease and find a way to completely cure it, rather than simply reducing the fever. So in some cases, the fever symptoms will be allowed to continue to appear in order to find the true underlying cause of the disease. Therefore, he reminded loving parents not to blindly ask doctors to reduce fever or treat fever symptoms, but to follow the doctor's advice, accurately find out the real cause of the fever and prescribe the right medicine.

Through the above introduction, we know the possible reasons for the baby's fever. After the baby has a fever, we must not only closely observe the baby's condition, but also take physical cooling methods for the baby. If the fever does not subside, we must go to the hospital for examination and carry out symptomatic treatment according to the cause.
