Reasons for repeated fever in one and a half year old baby

In daily life, many people do not have much time to accompany their children because of their careers, especially newborn babies, whose resistance is very poor. So let us learn about how parents should care for their children when a one and a half year old baby has repeated fever.

main reason:

1. Short-term fever (fever < 2 weeks)

Short-term fever in pediatrics is mostly caused by infection, and generally has a good prognosis or is a self-limited disease. However, fever may also be an early manifestation of critically ill children, especially children with severe symptoms of poisoning such as mental depression, drowsiness, and pale complexion. Attention should be paid to the child's medical history, history of contact with infectious diseases, and the presence or absence of symptoms and signs of respiratory, digestive, urinary, nervous and other systems, as well as the presence or absence of rash, petechiae, jaundice, anemia, lymphadenopathy, hepatosplenomegaly, and local infection foci.

2. Long-term fever (fever ≥ 2 weeks)

(1) Infectious fever

1) Respiratory system infections are the most common, with pathogens including viruses, mycoplasmas, bacteria and tuberculosis;

2) Other system infections: intestinal infection, urinary system infection, central nervous system infection (encephalitis, meningitis), cardiovascular system infection (such as infective endocarditis, pericarditis), hepatobiliary system infection (such as hepatitis, cholangitis, liver abscess, etc.);

3) Systemic infections such as sepsis, tuberculosis, typhoid, paratyphoid, typhus, brucellosis, Epstein-Barr virus infection, cytomegalovirus infection, Lyme disease, leptospirosis, malaria, kala-azar, schistosomiasis and fungal infections;

4) Abscess or localized infection such as osteomyelitis, perinephric abscess, subphrenic abscess, appendiceal abscess, perianal abscess, etc.

The above article gives you a detailed introduction to the reasons why a one-and-a-half-year-old baby has repeated fevers. I believe everyone has a relatively preliminary understanding. Therefore, in daily life, if such a situation occurs, you should go to the hospital for examination in time.
