What causes recurrent fever in children?

Fever generally refers to an elevated body temperature. Recurrent fever in children may occur because the illness is still in the acute phase and has not completely resolved, or because the medication used is not appropriate for the condition—for example, using antiviral drugs to treat a fever caused by bacterial infection, resulting in unsatisfactory outcomes. If a child experiences repeated episodes of fever with body temperature above 38.5°C, and oral antipyretics are ineffective or physical cooling methods are not applied, inflammation within the body stimulated by an ongoing inflammatory response commonly leads to such situations. It is recommended to seek medical attention promptly and follow the doctor's instructions for treatment.
