To deal with the fever caused by the cold, only three principles need to be mastered: a. Control the temperature The reason why I say control, is that the body temperature is not necessarily down to normal (37 degrees or less). Generally more than 38, 5 above the use of antipyretic drugs, but 42 degrees of body temperature alone with antipyretic drugs, I’m afraid it is very difficult to drop to normal, can be reduced to 39 degrees, also indicates that antipyretic drugs are effective. What about the part that still exceeds? Physical cooling! Do not underestimate the physical cooling, this is absolutely seemingly no trick powerful tricks, just many people do not know how to do. The following shares a few physical cooling “secrets”: 1, use warm water bath, rather than ice water or alcohol. Warm water does not stimulate the skin, the expansion of local pores is more conducive to the discharge and evaporation of sweat. 2, rub the large arteries (such as the neck, the root of the thighs) and hands, feet heart. Only put a wet towel in the brain can only make the patient feel comfortable, the brain touched cool, body temperature did not drop at all, in fact, is self-deception. 3, in the neck, armpits and occipital placement of ice bags. Cool cans, mineral water bottles are also available, wrapped in a thin towel to avoid direct stimulation of the skin. 4.Ice cubes or lozenges in the mouth. The gas exhaled from the mouth and nose is hot when you have a fever, and lowering the temperature of the airways can make breathing smooth and sleep smooth. 5, with an adequate amount of fluid intake. When you have a fever, the body’s unobtrusive water loss increases significantly, and dehydration makes the organ functions become disturbed, which is one of the main causes of cold complications. The most direct and reliable indicator of observation is to see whether the number of urination per day decreases compared to usual. It is important to give your child water or juice regularly, and if you cannot take water, you will have to replace the loss of body fluids by infusion. Second, diet, rest and care When you have a fever, it is advisable to have a light diet, and clear porridge and salty vegetable soup are suitable. You may think that you need good nutrition at this time, but when you have a fever, the mucous membrane of the gastrointestinal tract is bruised, and you have a poor appetite and reduced digestive capacity, so too much fatty food will increase the burden on the gastrointestinal tract. It is common to have no energy and fatigue, how to replenish energy? The best way is to replenish the body with sugar, and starchy foods are the most direct. Therefore, light rice porridge, rice soup, both to replenish sugar, but also to replenish the B vitamins. If you want to replenish protein, you can make egg custard. An egg with an equal amount of warm water, steamed out soft and tender, is a very good diet for fever patients. Eat little and often, do not force to eat more, and sleep when you are tired. When you have a cold, your strength decreases and you need to reduce your work and study load to give your body sufficient rest. Some parents who are pained by their children and do not know how to moderate, feel sorry for their children who are sick, usually do not let play ipads are sent to the hands. The child’s spirit is a little better, but the game played too much, did not rest well, the disease is easy to repeat. As a parent and chaperone, you should know that eliminating distractions and ensuring rest are also part of the care. Other care includes rinsing the mouth with mouthwash or warm salt water, and changing wet underwear in time. The fever is just a reflection of the body’s resistance to viruses or bacteria, a signal of the “battle”, and the degree of fever indicates the severity of the battle. Believe that the human body has undergone years of evolution and testing, it has a certain ability to repair itself. Premature and excessive intervention not only does not shorten the course of the disease, but may even bring unnecessary trouble. Moreover, hospitals are places where viruses and bacteria are easily concentrated, and when fever is already reduced resistance, going there may instead increase the chance of new infections. Therefore, in general, I would not take my child to the hospital for the first three days of fever, as long as the temperature does not continue to drop. However, if the temperature does not drop, the child is severely dehydrated, has difficulty breathing, and continues to be lethargic, it is necessary to seek medical attention. In the hospital, blood and imaging tests can be performed to clarify the cause of the disease and give the appropriate treatment for the cause. However, even in severe fevers, the first two principles of treatment are as important and implemented in the hospital. Disease is a product of nature and an enemy that doctors and patients need to face together. Only when both sides are of one mind and follow the objective laws can mankind be invincible in the long-term struggle against disease. Popularization of science is still a long way to go!
