It is a very bad phenomenon for a baby to have a low-grade fever for a long time. Although children's metabolism is relatively fast and their body temperature fluctuates by about one degree, sometimes the low-grade fever may occur occasionally due to the relationship between summer and winter, and the current hot and cold weather. If the low-grade fever persists for two weeks, you should be vigilant.
1. Physical reasons: The baby's metabolism is fast, and body temperature fluctuations within 1°C are considered normal. 2. Weather reasons: related to the hot weather in summer, the baby's water intake is insufficient and sweating is less, which leads to higher body temperature. When the weather turns cooler, your baby's body temperature will return to normal. 3. Dietary factors: The baby has indigestion and food accumulation. He is likely to have symptoms such as low fever, loss of appetite, and vomiting. At this time, you may need to make dietary adjustments or use digestive medications to treat it.4. Infectious low fever: After the baby becomes ill, the disease will recur due to insufficient treatment, and there will also be intermittent low fever. 5. Low fever after infection: After the baby suffers from infectious diseases such as measles, diphtheria, whooping cough, bacillary dysentery, and Japanese encephalitis, the function of regulating body temperature has not fully recovered, resulting in persistent low fever. 6. Chronic infectious low fever: such as tuberculosis, chronic tonsillitis, otitis media, sinusitis, urinary tract infection, etc., which cause the baby to have continuous low fever. 7. Non-infectious low fever: If the baby has blood diseases, endocrine and immune system diseases, low fever may occur.If the baby's body temperature does not exceed 38℃, it is generally not recommended to give the baby antipyretics, because the child's body temperature regulation center is not yet fully developed, and hypothermia (below 36℃) is likely to occur after taking antipyretics when the temperature is below 38℃. |
