Fever benefits: the guardian of the protection of human health Medical research has confirmed that fever is a defense reaction in the early stages of many diseases, can enhance the body’s ability to fight infection, thus resisting some pathogenic microorganisms on the human body’s invasion, and promote the recovery of human health. l Produces antibodies against bacteria; l Enhances the activity of toxin-eliminating enzymes in the white blood cells of the body; l Enhances the detoxification of toxins by the liver. Fever: the destruction of human health moth Fever of course, but also damage to human health, especially high fever persists for too long, will cause the human body organs and tissues of the regulatory function malfunction. l high fever will make the cerebral cortex in the over-excited or highly inhibited state. The performance of infants and young children is more prominent. Cerebral cortex over-excitation: restlessness, headache and even convulsions; cerebral cortex highly inhibited: delirium, lethargy, coma and so on. l Impact on human digestive function. Slow gastrointestinal movement: loss of appetite, bloating, constipation; increased gastrointestinal movement: diarrhea and even dehydration. l so that the human body to eat a variety of nutrients to enhance the metabolism, faster, increasing the body’s consumption of oxygen, aggravate the organs of the body’s “workload”. l Continued high fever eventually leads to the body’s ability to reduce the defense against disease, increasing the risk of secondary infections. Is a fever a bad thing for my child? Fever is not a good thing in the sense that your child is uncomfortable. But in fact, fever can be a good thing! Fever can use the body’s immune function, as far as possible and as soon as possible to destroy the germs that invade the body and cause fever, and promote the maturation of the immune system. If the body temperature is limited to below 37℃ as soon as possible, the stimulation of the immune system by fever will disappear. Since fever is present, it is important to minimize discomfort and keep the body temperature at 37.5-38.5°C to promote maturation of the immune system while drinking plenty of fluids, keeping the body temperature at no more than 38.5°C, and making sure that you urinate and defecate. Never lower the body temperature too low. For high fever that can cause convulsions, body temperature over 38.5℃ should be taken antipyretic; for improving immunity, body temperature should be kept between 37.5-38℃. The cooling effect is not based on normal body temperature as a standard. Knowing this, you will be able to know what abnormal manifestations your child will have during high fever, and then give appropriate care according to these manifestations without being alarmed. During a fever, measure your child’s temperature carefully, closely monitor the degree and changes in temperature, and give antipyretic medication when a high fever develops (over 38.5°C). At the same time, carefully observe whether the child’s face is pale, whether the respiration increases, whether there is nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, whether there is any change in mental state, and whether there is any occurrence of convulsions. If any of the above conditions occur, come to the hospital immediately.
