What Causes Fever in Children Without Cold Symptoms?
Disease description:
My nephew frequently develops fevers, often suddenly and without any accompanying symptoms. I would like to ask: What could cause a child to have a fever without cold-like symptoms?

Dr. Xie Zixing
A child may develop a fever without cold symptoms due to a bacterial infection or indigestion. If the body temperature remains below 38.5°C, increasing intake of warm water and encouraging frequent urination may help promote metabolism and achieve a cooling effect. Additionally, applying a warm, damp towel to areas such as the armpits and soles of the feet can assist in reducing fever. If the temperature exceeds 38.5°C, ibuprofen dispersible tablets should be administered only under the guidance of a physician.
