Why does fever occur in children?

Fever is the body's mechanism to fight an infection. In children, viral infections (cold, flu, sore throat) most commonly cause fever. Bacterial infections (urinary tract, middle ear, pneumonia) can also cause fever. Additionally, post-vaccination fever, mild fever related to teething (usually doesn't exceed 38°C), overdressing, or hot environments can trigger fever.
What matters most is the underlying cause, not the fever itself. In babies under 3 months, any fever of 38°C or higher must be evaluated by a pediatrician.
