A 12-year-old boy had a fever for 1 month.
Sometimes up to 40 degrees Celsius.
Mother was anxious and apprehensive:
Could it be that the child has a serious illness?
During the consultation, the child was faced with a "high fever that does not go away".
The doctor smiled knowingly and said nothing.
I'll go to the toilet with you."
Unexpectedly, the child's fever immediately subsided.
It's back to its vibrant appearance.
What's going on here?
The doctor introduced this lovely little friend.
He was hospitalized for more than 1 month due to intermittent fever.
Has received multiple anti-infectives in an out-of-hospital hospital prior to admission**.
However, the temperature still fluctuates.
At first, the experts were confused.
All the examination and laboratory indicators were normal.
Why do you have a high fever repeatedly?
Even more bizarre is the body temperature sometimes as high as 40 degrees Celsius.
After 10 minutes, the measurement was still normal.
In addition, the time when children have a fever is also very "particular".
The peak time is before school on Monday morning.
In the face of all kinds of unreasonable signs.
The doctor asks in detail and peels off the cocoon.
The truth has finally emerged.
It turns out that the child's "illness" is actually - camouflage heat!
Camouflage fever is one of the more common psychological problems.
It mostly occurs in school-age and adolescent children.
It mostly appears before school and before exams.
I don't get along well with my teachers and classmates at school.
When the family relationship is not harmonious, and the demand is not satisfied.
Presents with prolonged fever.
However, all body indicators other than body temperature are normal.
The doctor chatted with the child's mother.
I learned that children usually lack the company of their parents.
Plus the results are average.
I was afraid of going to school
Hear from the doctor.
Why don't I accompany you to the toilet and come back for another test? ”
The child was stunned for a moment, embarrassed, lowered his head, and told the truth honestly.
It turned out that every time the temperature was checked, the child asked to go to the toilet.
In order to use the hot water in the toilet to raise the thermometer reading.
This creates the illusion of fever.
Doctors advise parents not to be critical of their children's academic performance.
Instead, we should have more companionship to help them overcome difficulties together.
Timely counseling and alleviation of children's psychological stress.
In severe cases, a psychiatrist can be sought for help.
