1, fever will burn the brain? Wrong! I used to hear the old generation say that the fever will burn the brain. But this is completely woolly hearsay. Taiwan Pediatric Medical Association clearly pointed out that fever below 41 degrees will not cause direct damage to the patient’s brain or other organs, and extreme fever sometimes causes abnormalities of varying degrees of consciousness. High fever leads to brain dysfunction and febrile convulsions, which is the only possibility of “burning out” the child. 2, fever can cause pneumonia? Wrong! The fever itself, if there is no febrile convulsions, will not cause damage to any part of the body. Rather, the cause of the fever may cause pneumonia, etc. It is important to understand the correct. 3, wear thick clothes covered with thick blankets sweating can reduce fever? Wrong! Fever when the body heat production is greater than heat dissipation, if you wear more, cover more, heat dissipation is difficult to achieve, fever will not only be effective, the body temperature may continue to rise, and even induce febrile convulsions, if covered with sweat is also easy to trigger dehydration. 4, warm water bath is the first choice for cooling? No, only auxiliary means. U.S. expert consensus is that above 39 ° C (Chinese guidelines are 38.5 ° C or more) children will be more uncomfortable, except for some children with genetic metabolic disease, cardiopulmonary disease, epilepsy and other diseases, if the child is not obviously uncomfortable, healthy children do not need to reduce fever below 39 ° C, so there is no need for baths do not need ice packs. Warm water rubs have been advocated as the preferred option in the past, but with medical advances, this is no longer the preferred option. Warm water rubs are such a way to be at 39°C.
