What are the causes and management methods of fever in children?

Common factors causing fever in children mainly include: 1. Infections: Such as upper respiratory tract infections, gastrointestinal infections, and urinary tract infections, which are the most common causes. Children have relatively weaker immune systems and are more susceptible to pathogenic infections. 2. Other reasons: Including normal reactions after vaccination and temporary fever caused by excessive clothing. Treatment methods are as follows: 1. Physical cooling: When body temperature is below 38.5°C, methods such as warm water sponge baths, cold compresses on the forehead, or using an ice pillow may be used. 2. Medication for fever reduction: When body temperature exceeds 38.5°C, antipyretics such as ibuprofen or acetaminophen may be used under a doctor's guidance. 3. Etiological treatment: Treat the specific cause of the fever; for infections, antibiotics may be required. If the fever persists or is accompanied by other symptoms, prompt medical attention should be sought.
