Fever is a common abnormal symptom, and children are very prone to fever. Parents need to pay attention to their children's body temperature. Once they find that their baby has a fever, they should take timely measures, especially when they have a high fever, they should take antipyretic medication for children. So, what are the types of fever in children?
The types of fever in children can be classified according to body temperature and causes. If classified by body temperature, it can be divided into high fever and low-grade fever. If the body temperature reaches or exceeds 39 degrees Celsius, it is considered a high fever. Generally, acute infectious diseases such as pneumonia and sepsis can easily cause high fever.
If the temperature is below 38 ℃, it is a low fever. Many chronic diseases, such as tuberculosis, rheumatism and chronic hepatitis, can cause low fever. Low fever is usually more pronounced in the afternoon and worsens when fatigued. Generally, it can be alleviated after sufficient rest.
There are many factors that can cause children to have a fever, such as catching a cold, viral infections, etc., which are the most common causes of fever in children. Moreover, when children experience food accumulation, they are also prone to developing fever. If a child is found to have a fever, measures should be taken based on their body temperature. Generally, for low-grade fever, there is no need to take medication urgently. At this time, physical methods can be used to cool down., For example, taking a warm bath, using antipyretic patches, etc., all have good cooling effects.
