Fever is a protective response of the body to fight invading pathogens. It is a process in which the human body mobilizes the immune system to fight infection. The abnormal rise in body temperature is not necessarily proportional to the severity of the disease, but excessive fever or prolonged fever can affect the body's various regulatory functions, thus affecting the child's physical health.

A child's normal body temperature may fluctuate within a certain range due to factors such as gender, age, day and night and seasonal changes, diet, crying, temperature, and the thickness of clothing. A slight increase in body temperature does not necessarily have pathological significance. When a child's temperature rises, pay attention to the child's demeanor and behavior. Compared with a child with a body temperature of 38℃ and a dull expression, a child with a body temperature of 40℃ but still naughty deserves more of our attention. Children with low resistance will most likely not have a fever even if they suffer from a serious illness.
