Frequent fever in children is mainly due to the underdeveloped nervous system of infants and young children, which makes them prone to high fever or the phenomenon of rapid temperature rise after taking medication to reduce fever.
1. Non disease factors:
Baby's body temperature is easily affected by external factors such as high temperature (heatstroke), wearing too much clothing, insufficient water intake, water loss (sweating, diarrhea), poor air circulation in the room, intense exercise before and after, the effects of certain special medications, and other factors such as prophylactic injections that may cause fever. If the body temperature shows an unstable state, the possibility of illness should be considered.

The most common ones are colds, otitis media, and urinary tract infections. Otitis media is usually caused by the infection of cold bacteria or viruses from the Eustachian tube upwards into the middle ear. Except for severe cases where pus can be seen flowing into the ear, most cases are not visible from the outside.
The child often has a fever, and excluding the cause of the disease, it is mainly due to the child's poor physical condition.
