What to do if children have bone hyperplasia and fever

Osteophyte in children itself does not directly cause fever, but if the child also has fever symptoms, he or she needs to seek medical attention as soon as possible to find out the real cause behind the fever.

Bone hyperplasia is usually an abnormal growth of bones during growth and repair, which may be related to genetics, local pressure or inflammation. But for children, this situation is not common and requires a detailed medical diagnosis to confirm. If the child also shows symptoms such as fever, fatigue, pain, etc., it may indicate the presence of inflammation or infection in the body.

If the fever is caused by infection or inflammation, it is usually accompanied by other systemic symptoms, such as cough, runny nose, sore throat, etc. Pay attention to whether your child has obvious redness, swelling, tenderness, or limited movement in the local bone area. Some rare diseases, such as infectious arthritis that affects the bones, may also cause fever at the same time, so you need to be vigilant.

Parents can record the duration of fever and temperature changes for their children, and observe whether there are other abnormal conditions. In home care, antipyretic measures can be taken, such as wiping with warm water, replenishing sufficient water, etc., and using antipyretic drugs prescribed by the doctor when necessary. If the fever lasts for more than 48 hours or is accompanied by other suspicious symptoms, please take the child to the doctor immediately for a comprehensive examination by the doctor to determine the specific cause and start treatment.
