How to treat fever in children with bacterial infection

  Most fevers in children are related to bacterial infections of the respiratory tract. If the fever does not reach the level of high fever, the fever in this case is beneficial to the body, as the immunity of the body is significantly enhanced in the fever state, so there is no need to immediately lower the temperature. First of all, it is necessary to clarify the cause and location of the fever, because fever is a normal reaction of the body to fight against germs. If it is clear that it is a bacterial infection, antibiotics are used, and the effect of simple cooling is not ideal.  1. Application of antibiotics: Many mothers refuse to use antibiotics, but if it is a bacterial infection, it is necessary to use antibacterial agents. Take antibiotics must follow medical advice, the dose of antibacterial must be sufficient, the course of treatment should be enough, otherwise it is easy to produce resistance, and antibacterial effect is not good.  2, antipyretic treatment: If the fever caused by bacterial infection, the body temperature is relatively high, more than 38.50C, the first thing to give physical cooling. You can wipe the baby’s neck, armpit, groin and popliteal fossa with a warm towel, but it is not recommended to use something containing alcohol to cool your little one, because it may cause an allergic reaction and can also cause local absorption of alcohol, causing symptoms of alcohol poisoning. And give the child as little clothes as possible to facilitate heat dissipation. Physical cooling products such as antipyretic gel patches can also be applied, which not only have a better effect in reducing fever, but also have no obvious side effects and are especially suitable for fever reduction treatment for children.  If there is a bacterial infection fever, be sure to go to the hospital to listen to the doctor’s advice, given the appropriate treatment.
