Hello Sutinasari,
Thank you for your question on HealthReplies.com.
Fever is a complaint that often arises in children, demma is the body's response that the immune system is fighting the fungal infection, in addition to fever infections can also be caused by dehydration.
Fever, which is caused by a bacterial infection, will usually be marked with other diseases, such as coughing, diarrhea, shortness of breath, or also a lump in the neck of a child. one of the diseases that often arise due to bacterial infections are: tuberculosis, pneumonia. in addition, fever can also be caused by a viral infection, in general fever caused by a viral infection will heal by itself if the immune system is good. except for dengue fever viruses can be life-threatening if not treated immediately in children.
Dehydration is also a major factor causing fever. Lack of fluids can make the body unable to maintain normal body sushu so that the child will easily get a fever.
Based on the complaint you made, it cannot refer to one of the definitive diagnoses. Physical examination and support is necessary so that the exact cause is known, therefore you should consult with a pediatrician.
