Children have relatively weak immune systems and may experience recurrent fevers, which could be caused by bacterial or viral infections. We recommend promptly taking your child to the hospital for a blood test to accurately identify the underlying cause and initiate targeted treatment. Additionally, closely monitor your child’s mood and behavior over the next few days—watch for signs such as lethargy, decreased appetite, or worsening fever. If the child’s temperature remains below 38°C (100.4°F), treatment may include physical cooling methods combined with appropriate medication.
