Fever is a common symptom in childhood, and although it is commonplace, parents are especially nervous when their children have fever, and sometimes they make mistakes in the care process and use some inappropriate methods, thus affecting the effectiveness of treatment and care. Here we will point out the wrong practices of some parents in caring for their feverish children, and hope that parents will take this as a warning. And to provide some dietary considerations, I hope you pay attention to. I. Wrong practices 1, the child wrapped up tightly. When a child has a fever, some parents are afraid that the child will be exposed to the wind again, so the child will be wrapped up tightly. I don’t know, this not only affects the child heat cooling, but also induce pediatric febrile convulsions. The correct approach is: in the absence of cold wind blowing directly, take off too much clothing, or loosen the clothing, which is conducive to heat dissipation. 2, the choice of high concentration of alcohol or cold water bath to reduce fever. People usually think that with such a method can play a rapid effect of fever reduction. In fact, it is not the case. Because when the child is feverish, the skin’s blood vessels expand, the temperature difference between body temperature and cold water is large, high concentration of alcohol, liquor or cold water bath will cause strong vasoconstriction in children, resulting in chills, shivering and other uncomfortable symptoms, and even aggravate the child’s hypoxia, hypoxemia. Alcohol rubbing bath has been eliminated, but many parents and the elderly are not aware of it. The correct practice is: to use warm water for children to rub the bath, rubbing the bath is mainly the distribution of large blood vessels, such as forehead, neck, armpits, groin and thigh root, so as to achieve the effect of cooling. 3, incorrect use of antipyretic drugs. Many parents see children with fever, can not wait to use antipyretic drugs immediately to the child rapid cooling (this is often the parents to the doctor’s orders); do not know, cooling too fast does not mean that the condition has improved, if the application is not appropriate, but also can cause the child sweating profusely, deficiency and other adverse reactions, resulting in unnecessary injury to children. The correct approach is: when the child’s body temperature is lower than 38, 5 ℃, you can not use antipyretic drugs, it is best to drink more water, while paying close attention to changes in the condition, or the application of physical cooling methods; if the temperature exceeds 38, 5 ℃, you can take antipyretic drugs, before using drugs, parents had better read the instructions carefully, or under the guidance of a pediatrician to use. 4, randomly give the child medicine. Pediatric fever is not uncommon in clinical practice, and some parents often go to pharmacies to buy their own drugs for their children for convenience. But because of the rapid changes in the condition of children, poor tolerance to drugs, coupled with the lack of detoxification of the liver of children, the kidney development is not perfect, so vulnerable to drugs, resulting in damage to organ function. When a mother has a cold, parents give their own cold medicine to the child to prevent infection, thinking of the role of prevention, but the child will have hematuria and drug-related damage after taking the medicine. The correct approach is: parents should not just give their children the use of adult drugs, self-purchased drugs must also be taken under the guidance of a doctor, so as not to cause unnecessary harm to children. 5, blindly feed anti-inflammatory drugs. Pediatric fever is mostly seen in acute upper respiratory tract infectious diseases, such as viral and bacterial infections causing fever. But there are some parents, as soon as they see their children fever, they blindly feed anti-inflammatory drugs, and some parents of patients also require imported drugs. “It is medicine three points of poison”, abuse of anti-inflammatory drugs without understanding the real cause of pediatric fever can cause disorders of pediatric flora, damage to liver and kidney function, increase the resistance of pathogenic bacteria to drugs, which is not conducive to the child’s physical recovery. The correct approach is: when a child has a fever, it is best to visit a hospital and use medication under the guidance of a doctor. According to the condition of the right medicine, in order to play the effect of the medicine to the disease. 6, a small disease, a little disease and asked to hang saline. Many parents think that hanging saline has a good cooling effect and can replenish water, so when their children have a little fever, they actively ask to hang saline. This is because there are risks associated with hanging saline, which can cause infusion reactions and cross-infections. The correct approach is: let the child rest fully, drink more water, eat some easily digestible food, while following medical advice with drug therapy. Second, diet and care 1, diet should be light. When you have a fever, the whole body’s qi and blood move upward and outward, relatively speaking, the qi and blood of the digestive tract is reduced, so when many children have a fever, they will appear “do not want to eat”, “want to vomit or vomit”, “abdominal distension and abdominal pain or diarrhea “These symptoms are the manifestation of the weakness of the spleen and stomach and their inability to transport and transform after the reduction of qi and blood inside. When you have fever, it is better to eat a light diet, so as not to increase the burden on the spleen and stomach, you can eat “white porridge”, “millet porridge”, “vegetable porridge”, “pumpkin Congee”, “bean curd soup”; after the fever has subsided, appropriate tonic, such as “chicken soup”, “egg soup”, “minced meat “etc. 2. Drink more warm water and hot porridge. External fever is a war between the body and “viruses”, “bacteria” or other disease-causing microorganisms. The most consumed during the fever is “fluid”, drink more warm water and hot porridge or to make the “fluid” replenished. The fluid does not dry up, fluid running, sweat to get, urine and stool can be normal excretion. 3, more foot bath. The cold starts at the foot. Socks and slippers to keep warm, keep dry, do not walk barefoot on the floor. Foot soak time is appropriate in about ten to fifteen minutes, you can repeatedly heat the water, it is best to sweat some. 4, physical cooling methods. Ice is suitable for high fever but no “cold, chills, nasal congestion, clear snot” children, from the point of view of Chinese medicine, if necessary, discriminatory use; if there is “cold, nasal congestion, runny” children, it is appropriate to use the method of external application of warm water. 5, if the fear of cold without sweating high fever, available antipyretic drugs (such as “Merlin” or “pediatric antipyretic suppositories”, etc.) sweating to reduce fever, sweating after, it is appropriate to serve hot porridge, porridge can add some rock sugar. In this way, sweating without hurting the vital energy can also reduce the recurrence of fever.
