Why does my child have a fever at night but is normal during the day?

I wonder if you parents have ever had this experience: sometimes your children suddenly have a fever at night, but become normal during the day with no signs of fever at all. The fever would automatically subside during the day at night, which made many parents feel very strange. They thought that their children had some serious problems and were very worried. Then, let me introduce to you what is going on when children have this kind of situation?

My baby always has a fever at night, but the fever goes away automatically during the day. It may be caused by indigestion. In addition to fever, babies may also have other symptoms due to indigestion, such as not being in good spirits, not eating well, and abnormal bowel movements. You can give him some digestive medicine.

There are many reasons for fever in infants and young children. In winter, due to the cold climate and large temperature difference between indoor and outdoor, children are prone to respiratory infections and symptoms such as coughing and fever. Children often develop a sudden high fever at night. This is because the water content in infants and young children's bodies is higher than that in adults. Even a slight lack of water will affect heat dissipation and make them prone to fever.

When children are sick, they are in poor spirits and sleep for a long time. If you do not eat or drink water for a long time at night, your body temperature will easily rise. Diseases such as colds, tracheitis, and throat inflammation can cause fever. In addition, some immune system diseases, such as rheumatic fever and lupus erythematosus, can also cause fever, but it is generally not a high fever.

In addition, poor ventilation in the room and being frightened can cause fever. Preventive injections, including measles, cholera, diphtheria, tetanus and other reactions, can also cause fever. Fever is only a superficial phenomenon, some cases are severe, some are mild. The key is to correctly judge the cause of the fever and provide symptomatic treatment. The high or low temperature of a fever does not indicate whether the illness is serious or not. The individual body reactions of children vary greatly. A high temperature does not necessarily mean that the illness is serious. Fever is just a symptom and a reaction process of the body. Of course, a fever that is too high can be harmful and cause complications.

Through the introduction above, parents should now understand that there is a reason why children are normal during the day but have a fever at night. In addition to the situation of indigestion mentioned above, it may also be caused by the child being frightened. But if none of these situations occur, you can go to the hospital for a check-up to determine what is going on.
