A child fever how to do Fever is the most common symptom of respiratory tract infections, encountering a child’s sudden fever, parents should not be anxious, in addition to measuring the child’s temperature, but also pay attention to observe the child’s performance. When suffering from a cold, children often have a sudden high fever at night. This is because the proportion of water content in the body of infants and young children is higher than that of adults, and as long as there is a mild lack of water, it affects the dissipation of heat and makes it easy for them to develop a fever. When a child is sick, he or she is in poor spirits and sleeps for a long time. At night for a long time without food and water, the body temperature is easy to rise. The temperature of the fever does not indicate the severity of the disease or not, the child’s individual body response varies greatly, the temperature is high, not necessarily serious, fever is just a symptom of the cold, is the body reaction process. Of course, too high a fever can be harmful and lead to complications. Fever caused by colds often lasts for 3 to 5 days, and after anti-infective and anti-viral treatment, the body temperature will return to normal soon. If your child’s fever lasts more than 5 to 7 days and does not improve with the above treatments, you need to go to the hospital. If the child’s body temperature is below 39 ℃, and the mental state is good, you can take oral antipyretic medication such as ibuprofen, bupropion, it should be noted that antipyretic medication is through sweating to achieve the purpose of fever, such as after taking medication the temperature does not go down, you can feed your child hot water sweating, or give hot water bath to assist in fever reduction, or repeatedly wipe the child’s back and armpits, inguinal, limb skin and other parts of the blood vessels rich. If the child’s body temperature exceeds 39 ℃, and mental depression or a history of febrile convulsions, you can first take oral antipyretic drugs at home, and then promptly sent to the hospital. Second, how to treat a cold and cough, how to do a long term cough after a cold Cough and fever as well as a common symptom of colds, is a protective reflex action, through coughing the respiratory tract in the phlegm and discharged harmful substances cleaned out. Children with colds cough, coughing up phlegm, promote recovery, do not need to use cough medicine, but when coughing violently affects the child’s sleep and eating, can be appropriate to give cough medicine, such as australia oral solution can stop coughing, and eliminate nasal congestion, runny nose, sneezing symptoms; easy to TANJING can stop coughing, dilute the phlegm so that it can be easily discharged. Sometimes children will be left after a long period of time after the cold cough, the medical termed “post-cold cough”, the cause of which may be viral infection leading to the destruction of the integrity of the airway epithelium, or persistent chronic non-specific inflammation of the airway, causing airway hyperreactivity temporarily increased. Treatment of this type of cough with cough suppressants and anti-inflammatory drugs is ineffective, and drugs that reduce airway reactivity such as leukotriene antagonists, antihistamines, or inhaled surfactant corticosteroids can be given. Because of the cough after the cold is irritating dry cough or with a small amount of white mucous sputum and mycoplasma caused by cough similar, often misdiagnosed as mycoplasma infection, should pay attention to avoid over treatment. Third, how to treat mycoplasma infections Pediatric mycoplasma infections have very significant characteristics, mostly seen in older children, especially children over 3 years old, irritating cough, more intense, long duration, short-term treatment is not effective. Parents should be reminded that the diagnosis of mycoplasma infection can not be based only on positive antibody test, if the child is diagnosed with mycoplasma infection, according to mycoplasma treatment for 3 to 5 days, the condition did not improve, the diagnosis should be taken into account the correctness of the timely modification of the treatment program. Mycoplasma has no tendency to recur, its treatment course for 2 to 3 weeks is enough, do not extend the treatment time, in order to avoid the side effects of long-term medication. Fourth, the cold need to use antibiotics The main pathogen causing pediatric colds is the virus, the child has a certain resistance to colds, colds, generally do not need to use antibiotics, as long as the strengthening of care, proper rest, drink more boiled water, give easy to digest diet, with oral cold medicine, will soon be able to restore health. However, children with persistent temperature, depression, or complications of purulent tonsillitis, bronchitis and pneumonia need to be properly treated with antibiotics. In order to fully utilize the effect of antibiotics, parents must give their children the medication strictly according to the doctor’s instructions. After the child takes the medicine, the symptoms begin to reduce or eliminate, but at this time the body’s pathogenic bacteria are likely to still exist, can not stop the medicine, if the medicine is stopped too early is likely to lead to the prolongation of the infection, or even cause a more serious comorbidities. Treatment of colds combined with bacterial infections, generally need to apply a sufficient amount of antibiotics 7 to 10 days, general cephalosporins and penicillins need to be served 2 to 4 times a day, azithromycin only need to be taken orally once a day for 3 to 5 days to end the course of treatment. Five, cold and fever need infusion Whenever a child suffers from a cold and fever, parents are very anxious, always hope that the child’s disease immediately, asking the doctor to give infusion treatment, in fact, most of the cold and fever root is not need to infusion can be restored, the common cold has no complications, do not have to infusion treatment, infusion treatment, once an allergic reaction occurs, the consequences of the treatment are often very serious, and even some of the anaphylactic reactions are fatal, and the long-term use of intravenous antimicrobials, can also be used as an antidote, but also to protect the child’s health. Long-term intravenous use of antimicrobials can also lead to a decline in body resistance, bacteria produce drug resistance. The medication is safer, more convenient and cheaper than the infusion. With the weather getting cooler, children are prone to catching colds over and over again, and parents have a lot of trouble with this. If an infant or young child suffers from upper respiratory tract infections up to seven times a year or pneumonia three times a year, he or she can be considered to have recurrent colds. The main reason for repeated colds in infants and young children is that the child’s respiratory organs are immature, easy to inhale disease-causing microorganisms and dust, the whole body and the respiratory tract local resistance is poor, it is not easy to clear the invasion of disease-causing microorganisms in the organism, when the weather suddenly changes can not be adjusted to adapt to the weather changes immediately, prone to induce disease. Disease factors are also an important cause of recurrent respiratory infections in children, common malnutrition, rickets and trace elements such as zinc and vitamin A deficiency. In addition, improper treatment of upper respiratory tract infections can also cause recurrent colds, such as bacterial respiratory tract infections, did not use antibiotics or the use of insufficient courses of treatment. It should be noted that many children with allergic cough, bronchial asthma, and allergic rhinitis may have recurrent cough, wheezing, runny nose, and sneezing, which are similar to the symptoms of respiratory infections and are easily misdiagnosed as recurrent colds. For children with recurrent colds, it is necessary to strengthen physical exercise and appropriate outdoor activities to enhance the body’s resistance, appropriate supplementation of vitamin A and zinc trace elements, active treatment and prevention of rickets and nutritional anaemia, and, if necessary, selective use of immunomodulatory drugs such as Astragalus, Sophora japonica yellow granules.
