બાળકોમાં વાયરલ તાવ Viral Fever in Children
Viral fever in children is a common condition, usually caused by various viruses such as the flu, respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), or adenoviruses. It often presents with symptoms like fever, body aches, cough, sore throat, and fatigue. In some cases, children may also experience gastrointestinal symptoms like vomiting or diarrhea. Management focuses on symptomatic relief and supportive care. Ensuring proper hydration is key, as fever can cause dehydration. Over-the-counter antipyretics, such as acetaminophen or ibuprofen, are commonly used to reduce fever and alleviate discomfort. Rest and a balanced diet are also important in promoting recovery. Most viral fevers resolve on their own within a few days, but parents should watch for signs of complications, such as persistent high fever, difficulty breathing, or dehydration, which may require medical attention. Educating parents about recognizing warning signs is essential to ensure timely intervention and prevent more serious health issues in children.
