Fever is the body’s way of mobilizing its own immune system to make it work better to prevent infection. It is a sign that the child is using his/her own immunity to fight against the virus, and in the process of fighting against the fever, the child’s immunity is also continuously improved. Moreover, ordinary fever usually does not damage the child’s brain. On the contrary, it is detrimental to the child’s health if over-aggressive methods are used to reduce the fever. In general, when the child has a fever, parents are most likely to appear in the following four care misunderstandings. 1, through the “heat” sweating fever: often heard some parents say: “take some medicine, cover for a while, such as sweat out of the fever”, there are also some parents think that the child is afraid of cold fever, so wear more, cover more, so three layers, three layers of the child wrapped up tightly, only to reveal the child’s health. The child is wrapped up tightly, only to reveal a suffocating red face, sweating through the heat to reduce the fever of many parents, in fact, this practice is unscientific. When a child has a fever, the peripheral circulation becomes poorer, the hands and feet may feel a little cold, but this is not because the child is not wearing enough. And the child in the fever, wrapped tightly instead of affecting the body’s heat dissipation, so that the body temperature rises, and even in a high fever state, in the high fever peripheral blood vessels can be compensatory expansion, so that increased sweating, while the body’s metabolism is hyperactive, increased oxygen consumption, coupled with the baby for a long time in this sweltering hot environment, in the state of hypoxia, for a long time, is likely to lead to the body of the multi-organ, multi-systems are involved. Correct practice: When the child has a fever, the child’s clothes slightly unraveled, so that it is fully dissipated, and pay attention to the indoor air to maintain the flow, but pay attention to the baby’s hands and feet to keep warm. 2, fever can not bathe or fever with cold water bath: Some parents think that the child has a fever, can not bathe, bathing, it is easy to catch a cold, there are some parents think that the child has a fever, help him with cold water bath, can help him cool down, in fact, these two practices are not correct. The correct approach: a feverish child warm water bath is more conducive to cooling, if the bath is inconvenient, with warm water bath is also a very effective way to cool down. After bathing or rubbing with warm water, you should quickly dry the whole body and put on dry clothes to avoid catching cold. 3, a fever immediately with antipyretic: some parents see children with fever, immediately give children to take a variety of antipyretic drugs, after eating the drug did not immediately effective, and immediately change another antipyretic. In fact, this is not correct. Correct practice: Generally speaking, the child’s temperature in 38, 5 ℃ below, we are recommended to physical cooling-based, more than 38, 5 ℃ only in the physical cooling at the same time to give antipyretic drugs. Currently on the market a variety of antipyretic drugs, parents in the selection, the best choice of children’s dose of antipyretic drugs, especially small infants, you can choose some drops of antipyretic drugs. In the process of using fever-reducing drugs, parents should also need to pay attention to, if the child’s temperature after taking fever-reducing drugs or did not come down, can not immediately use a fever-reducing drugs or replace the other fever-reducing drugs, to an interval of 4-6 hours before taking fever-reducing drugs, and at the same time, also pay attention to drink more water, in order to contribute to the lowering of the temperature. 4, the child has a high fever, but also to wait for the doctor to see and then deal with: Some parents are worried about giving their children to eat fever-reducing drugs will affect the doctor to make accurate judgments on the condition, or do not know what drugs to give the child, so the child has been burned red face or not give the child active cooling, must wait until the doctor can not be seen, or the child has been a high fever, at home, not deal with it directly to the hospital, the hospital, and then the child will not be able to see a doctor, but to wait for the doctor. The child is waiting anxiously outside the clinic. Correct practice: If the child has a fever of 38,5 ℃ or more, you should actively reduce the child’s temperature, especially for babies with high fever, if the fever is not treated for a long time, it is easy to cause the child’s fever convulsions, fainting and so on. In short, the child in the fever, parents should pay more attention to the child’s behavior, rather than just focusing on the temperature figures, if the child’s mental state is okay, there is no need to worry too much, but need to be reminded that, within 3 months of the baby due to the immune system has not yet matured, can not fight off infections on their own, once there is a fever, it is still recommended to take to the hospital to the doctor to look at, it is best not to give the child on their own! The best thing to do is not to give your child medication on your own.
