Will children have fever when they grow up?

In fact, children will not have a fever when they are growing. If they have a fever, it must be caused by problems with their bodies. In this way, we should first find out the causes of their illness and deal with it. Only in this way can we take more targeted treatment measures. There are many types of fever, and different types require different treatments.

The body temperature is higher than normal, or there is a feeling of heat and discomfort.

The causes of fever are divided into two categories: external and internal. Exogenous fever is caused by the six evil pathogens and epidemic qi; internal fever is mostly caused by diet, fatigue, or changes in the seven emotions, which lead to imbalance of yin and yang and deficiency of qi and blood. Exogenous fever is mostly real, and is seen in colds, typhoid fever, febrile diseases, plague and other diseases; internal injuries are mostly virtual, and include yin deficiency fever, yang deficiency fever, blood deficiency fever, qi deficiency fever, asthenia fever, yang floating fever, and blood loss fever.

Fever types include high fever, low fever, aversion to heat, fever and chills, alternating chills and fever, hot flashes, fever in the five parts of the body, and sudden fever. According to the time of fever, there are dawn fever, daytime fever, evening fever, night fever, etc. According to the location of the fever, there are muscle heat, pores heat, shoulder heat, back heat, elbow heat, radial skin heat, palm heat, back of hand heat, foot heat, limb heat, etc. There are also fever caused by blood stasis, fever caused by food accumulation, fever caused by drinking, fever caused by blood stasis, and fever after illness.

Fever refers to a situation in which pyrogens directly act on the body temperature regulation center, dysfunction of the body temperature center, or excessive heat production and reduced heat dissipation caused by various reasons, resulting in a rise in body temperature beyond the normal range.

The normal body temperature is generally 36-37℃. The oral temperature of an adult in a quiet state in the morning is 36.3-37.2℃; the anal temperature is 36.5-37.7℃; and the axillary temperature is 36-37℃.

According to body temperature conditions, fever is divided into: low fever: 37.5~37.9℃; moderate fever: 38.0~38.9℃; high fever: 39.0~40.9℃; hyperpyrexia: above 41.0℃.

Fever itself is not a disease, but a symptom. In fact, it is one of the body's mechanisms for fighting infection. Fever may even have its uses: shortening the duration of illness, enhancing the effectiveness of antibiotics, and making infections less contagious. These abilities should offset the discomfort experienced when having a fever.

The etiology of fever of unknown origin (FUO) is a global problem, and the cause of nearly 10% of FUO cases remains unknown. Fever itself can be caused by many types of diseases, such as infection, tumors, autoimmune diseases and blood diseases, and cannot be clearly classified.

In the past, such patients were usually diagnosed and treated by internal medicine physicians, and in most hospitals with more specialized specialties, they were mainly treated by respiratory physicians. Currently, many hospitals have opened infection departments and FUO is classified as such in the infection departments. This specialized management is an improvement and can improve the level of diagnosis and treatment.
