Ensuring the health of babies is very important, not only because they are young and have weak immunity, but also to minimize the impact on their future physical health. So once a baby gets sick, no matter how small the disease may seem at the moment, it is important to treat it early and not leave any sequelae. Oral inflammation is a disease that children are more prone to. If a baby has oral inflammation, will they have a fever?
Oral inflammation is not a very serious disease, but due to the weak resistance of babies, not controlling it in time can easily lead to a series of other problems. There are many causes of stomatitis, and some of them may lead to fever. Firstly, stomatitis refers to bacterial infections that occur on the oral mucosa. There are many types of pathogenic bacteria, such as Staphylococcus aureus and Streptococcus pneumoniae, which are the two most common ones. After a baby develops oral inflammation, the first symptom is pain in the inflamed area, followed by resistance to eating, irritability, and other symptoms. When the baby's resistance is insufficient or decreases, fever may occur.
In fact, fever is a protective mechanism of the human body against pathogens, so it is normal for various inflammations to cause fever in babies. If the baby's body temperature does not exceed 38 degrees Celsius, there is no need to use antipyretic medicine for now. Physical cooling should be used first, but once it exceeds, medication should be taken as soon as possible. At the same time, some anti-inflammatory drugs can be used to ensure that the baby can recover as soon as possible.
