Viral fever in children: When children cry again and again, they become irritable and do not feel like playing, then there can also be a sign that infection is flourishing inside the body. Sometimes sore throat, nose or cough starts. The body temperature becomes 101–102 continuously. If there is a cold again and again, it is a clear indication that now the matter can be not ordinary but viral fever.
The time of rainy and changing weather brings difficulties for children. During this time, one of the most common problems is viral fever. Every year thousands of children are affected by this and the housemates get worried that this is not a serious disease. But the real problem occurs when parents do not recognize its symptoms in time and are late in treatment.
Causes of Viral Fever
Former Dr. Rakesh Bagdi, former Pediatric Department in Delhi AIIMS, says that when an infected person coughs, sneezing or coughing, the fluids emanating from his mouth contain bacteria that spread infections. If standing near the infected person, bacteria enter your body through nose or mouth paths. For this reason, even a person becomes a victim of Viral Fever.
Symptoms of Viral Fever
In the beginning, symptoms of viral fever may look like ordinary colds. The child has mild fatigue, hunger feels less and sometimes there is pain in the body. Many times the temperature remains up to 100 degrees, so the housemates think that the effect of the weather is. But this negligence goes forward and increases the trouble. The real suspense is that viral fever is not limited to fever, but gradually can also affect the rest of the body.
