Hotness of the body! There are different diseases that cause Fever. The most common in our environment include malaria, upper respiratory tract infection, chest infection and urinary respiratory tract infection. Malaria is so common in the environment; it is treated as a separate topic. Fever in children can cause convulsion. Convulsion is usually a very distressful condition both to the parents and the child.
Fever can be controlled by exposing the patient, tepid sponging, use of drugs (antipyretics) for fever and ultimately treating the underlying cause of the illness.
