Fever is very common in daily life, and everyone should have experienced it. In general, fever is caused by a cold, but some mothers may find that their children do not have a cold when they have a fever. So, what is the reason for the child not having a cold and having a fever?
In fact, there are many reasons that can cause a child to have a fever, and a cold is just one of them. Some children may experience fever due to respiratory tract infections, weakened immunity, or exposure to cold. If the child is accompanied by symptoms such as frequent urination and urgency, it may be caused by urinary tract infections. Some children may also experience fever when they have measles.
After a child develops a fever, if the body temperature does not exceed 38.5 degrees Celsius, it is best to first use physical cooling methods to relieve it, such as wiping the body with warm water or applying cold compress to the child's head. At the same time, excess clothing should be removed. Usually, the body temperature will decrease after a period of time. If the child's body temperature exceeds 38.5 degrees Celsius, it is necessary to take antipyretic medication under the guidance of a doctor for treatment.
To prevent children from having a fever, it is important to improve their immune system by encouraging them to eat fresh fruits and vegetables and supplementing with vitamin C. Parents should also take their children to do more aerobic exercises, such as jogging, swimming, hiking, etc., which can improve their physical fitness. They should also let their children drink warm water more to eliminate toxins from the body.
