The causes of childhood fever are numerous, ranging from infectious to non-infectious, with infectious causes being more common. Commonly, colds are the most frequent cause. When a child has a fever, it is crucial to identify the cause and treat accordingly. High body temperature can lead to febrile seizures in infants, so controlling the temperature is also very important. This can typically be achieved through medication or physical methods of cooling.

Fever can be caused by infections, connective tissue diseases, or malignant tumors. It’s not recommended to give the baby medication immediately without determining the cause.
If your baby is showing symptoms like a runny nose, sneezing, and shivering, it might be due to a cold and could be feverish. It’s recommended to use specific medication and ensure the baby drinks plenty of water.
