Question
What could be the causes of a high fever in young children? What should parents do when a child’s body temperature rises?
Answer
High fever in young children may be caused by infectious diseases, environmental factors, or activity levels. Sudden fluctuations in body temperature are not necessarily a sign of fever. If the child is otherwise in good health and shows no other abnormal symptoms, there is no need to worry excessively. For physical cooling (cooling), cold compresses can be applied to the head and areas rich in blood vessels, such as the armpits and groin.
