The child is like a biological clock, especially sensitive to the natural response, the weather changes, the body will have problems, colds and fevers as a common occurrence. But every time you look at your baby’s red face, when the father and mother’s heart did not mention how heartbreaking, hate to carry down for the baby. Experienced parents to cope with the child’s fever can be said to be very familiar, cooling fever, methodical, but the new parents it …… baby first fever can be really busy ah, almost did not cry. The child’s fever, parents how to deal with the most scientific? The following talk mainly for colds appear fever. Recognize fever: fever is an immune protective response. Fever is not a disease, just a symptom. Parents need to know is that fever is not all bad, fever is the body’s immune system in order to resist infection and produce a kind of immune protective response. Research has proven that various immune functions in the body at the time of fever are better than when the body temperature is normal, including increased metabolism, antibody synthesis and phagocytosis activity. These immune functions inhibit the growth and reproduction of pathogens, which is conducive to the patient’s recovery. Therefore, premature forced cooling with drugs not only has the side effects of antipyretics themselves, but also thwarts the body’s natural defenses, supports the pathogenic effects of pathogens, prolongs the course of the disease, and may mask the symptoms due to antipyretic fever, resulting in diagnostic difficulties in the primary disease and delays in treatment. Fever caused by different pathogenic microorganisms has different degrees, duration and types, fever can reflect the changes in the condition, fever is also an important reference index for our doctors to diagnose the disease, evaluate the efficacy of treatment and estimate the prognosis. What can we do for our children: besides drinking more water and physical cooling, what else? 1.Take the temperature, if the temperature does not exceed 38.5 degrees, do not deal with it first, and give your child more water. 2, observe the spirit and face, if the child fever, spirit is very good, can eat and play, face is not bad, the temperature exceeds 38.5 degrees or more, you can not use antipyretic drugs, first choose physical cooling. 3, if the child does not have chills and fear of cold manifestations, just a very high temperature, protect the front and back of the heart, bare limbs, with warm water below body temperature, wipe the head and neck and limbs, do not choose alcohol and ice (stimulate the child, there will be uncomfortable feeling), do not use the market so-called “ice ice stickers” (similar to the role of the ice, there is not much value). The child should not be given glucose water.) 4, feed the child glucose water, a small amount of frequent service, supplemental energy, to help diuretic, and the role of infusion is similar. 5, the preparation of a corkscrew, if the child fever on the day or a few days without stool, even if the food is not good in recent days, should be used once, to exclude the body of the accumulated food debris, conducive to fever. 6, do not give the child to eat greasy food, mainly light, if it is a small baby, not hungry do not feed hard, temporarily stop eggs and other not easily digestible supplements. The time to use antipyretic drugs: usually higher than 38.5 ℃, there are exceptions …… Fever is the manifestation of disease, can make the pediatric nerve excitability increase to irritability, crying, children under 6 years old, especially 6 months to 3 years old stage, there is the possibility of febrile convulsions. Children who are extremely debilitated or have severe pneumonia or cardiovascular disease can be impaired by increased oxygen consumption and cardiac output due to fever. Fever above 42°C can lead to neurological damage. Therefore, in general, the clinical usually recommended to 38.5 as the limit, above which oral antipyretic drugs. However, it is not entirely necessary to deal with this rigidly, if the child has a history of febrile convulsions, early oral antipyretic medication is recommended when the cold is new. Or the child’s age group is small, although only 38 degrees, but the spirit is very poor, you can also early use of antipyretic drugs. If the child is older, the spirit is still very good, more than 39 degrees, you can also temporarily do not use fever-reducing drugs, first observe, physical cooling effect is not good before using. How to use drugs: mainly symptomatic (for reference only, please do not read from the book) 1, colds without special drugs, theoretically, even if you do not take medication, the child’s cold for about a week or so can be good, but the child is different from the adults, simple colds may be combined with a feeling of general malaise, the main symptomatic medicine. For example, antiemetic drugs can be used for vomiting, digestive drugs can be used for indigestion, and cough medicines can be used for coughing. 2, when the cold, do not give the child to eat too much medicine, to combine the child’s most serious situation with the drug, pick the most important two or three on the line, do not what all on. After the child’s cold, some parents want to make all the child’s discomfort disappear, even combined to eat five or six kinds of drugs, which will increase the child’s gastrointestinal discomfort, but aggravate the condition. 3, fever-reducing drugs to choose the safest, containing ibuprofen or acetaminophen any kind of atmosphere on the line, do not use other drugs. 4, antipyretic is only symptomatic treatment of drugs, the child fever, we need to determine the cause of the child’s fever. We also need to observe these: rash, stool, urine, oral …… When the child has a fever, we in addition to measuring the child’s temperature, we need to observe the following: 1, to see if there is a rash on the body or other abnormalities. 2, to see if the child has diarrhea, what is the nature of the stool? Does it appear before the fever or after the fever? 3, see if the child’s urine has an abnormal color. 4, use a flashlight to see if there are any red spots or other abnormalities in the oral mucosa, if there is any pus in the throat, if the tongue is thick, and if there is any odor in the mouth. When to go to the hospital: identify these 6 If parents initially judge that the child’s fever is caused by a cold, the symptoms are not serious, and the child can eat and play, you can not go to the hospital for the time being. The following situations, to go to the hospital: 1, fever at the same time there is severe vomiting, can not eat; 2, fever, very poor spirit, color change; 3, fever with severe diarrhea, send the child to the hospital at the same time to bring the stool collection to the hospital in a timely manner; 4, less than two years old, fever more than a day when the fever does not go down; 5, the older children with a fever of more than 39.5 degrees, oral antipyretic medicine, quickly Take the child to the hospital; 6, the child has not been sick since childhood, the first time sick fever; in short, if in addition to fever, but also at the same time combined with other uncomfortable symptoms, to go to the hospital. The oldest child has a cold and fever, take medicine at home for up to two days of observation, if the child is still high fever, poor spirit, to go to the hospital in time for examination. 2 years old children under the age of children, it is not recommended to be at home for a long time to observe, to take the child to the hospital in time for review. What to go to the hospital for: blood test, diarrhea but also fecal routine The first request for blood test, if the blood test is normal, do not take the initiative to ask for the child to be injected. If the child has diarrhea, the fecal test should be done. If the child’s blood white blood cells are slightly higher than normal, the child can eat the medicine, you can temporarily take the medicine to observe. If the child’s white blood cells are very high, combined with a serious infection, or to listen to the doctor’s advice early infusion treatment, control acute infection (generally no more than three days), and after the fever subsides, but also adhere to the medication, be sure to adhere to a week or so, recheck the blood routine. In short, there is a process of disease recovery, in the face of fever, parents first of all can not be too anxious, careful observation of the condition and careful care, timely communication to the doctors around. Pediatric fever is only a manifestation of a variety of diseases, no fever is not necessarily no disease, fever is not equal to the disease has been completely cured. Therefore, a clear diagnosis and treatment of the original disease is the key to restoring health.
