Babies are young and have poor immunity, making them prone to fever. Fever has a significant impact on the body, and in severe cases, it can also affect adjacent organs in the brain. There are many reasons that can cause fever, and parents must find the cause and treat it accordingly. So, what's the reason for the baby's sudden fever?
1. Upper respiratory tract infection. After a baby has a fever, it may be accompanied by symptoms such as runny nose and cough, which may be caused by upper respiratory tract infection. Generally, there is a higher chance of viral infection, or it may be influenced by bacteria. If the baby has a fever caused by a respiratory infection, the throat will turn red and sometimes there will be bubbles in the throat.
2. Otitis media. Otitis media can also lead to fever. If a baby always likes to pull their ears after a fever, it may be caused by otitis media. To determine whether a baby has otitis media, you can observe the baby's ear canal. If there is fluid flowing out of the canal and the ear temperature is relatively high, it is considered to have otitis media.
3. Rash like diseases. Suffering from rash related issues can also cause fever, such as measles, rubella, and other diseases. Parents can first observe their baby's skin to see if there are any rashes, then go to the hospital for a detailed examination, and after diagnosis, use medication correctly, so that the baby's fever can subside quickly.
Babies are young and physically weak, so getting sick is inevitable. Whether the baby's fever is caused by bacteria, bacterial infections, or improper diet, it should be treated promptly. If it is a low-grade fever, physical cooling should be used. For a high fever, medication should be taken under the guidance of a doctor. As long as proper care is taken, the fever can quickly subside.
