Normal body temperature is a manifestation of human physical health, and low or high body temperature is abnormal. If parents use a thermometer to measure their baby's body temperature and keep it high, then their hearts must be very anxious. So, what is the reason for the baby's persistent high fever?
Sometimes high fever in babies is caused by external environmental problems, not diseases. Parents should not worry. As long as the factors that make the baby warm up are found, their body temperature can quickly drop. If the baby wears too many clothes or the outdoor temperature is high, but their body is severely dehydrated, it can cause their body temperature to remain high. In this situation, parents should gradually reduce the clothes they wear or take them to cooler places.
If it's not caused by external factors, then the baby's body has inflammation. Some inflammations are quite typical, and taking some medication can lower body temperature. For those with more severe symptoms, after being diagnosed by a doctor and receiving fluids for a period of time, their body temperature may also show a downward trend. However, for some rare diseases where the virus mutates, ordinary drugs are difficult to take effect on them, resulting in persistent high fever.
There is another situation that is quite frightening, where a baby with leukemia will continue to have a high fever. Leukemia is a problem with the hematopoietic function of the human body, where white blood cells cannot resist foreign viruses normally, making the body very susceptible to infection. After the body is infected with bacteria, there will be a persistent high fever.
