”Fever again, my child! In the summer, we see a lot of “feverish children”. Some parents, as soon as their child has a fever, take him/her to the hospital for an antipyretic injection, eager to bring down the child’s body temperature. Some parents also wonder why their children always have a fever in summer. How to care and treat fever at home? 1, baby fever first find the cause Compared to winter, summer fever is relatively more children, the age difference is not big, all ages have. There are many causes of fever, but the main reason is the invasion of bacteria and viruses that cause respiratory and gastrointestinal infections, resulting in fever. If the fever lasts for 3-5 days, it is usually caused by a viral infection; if the fever is still present after 5 days after various treatments, it can be considered a viral infection combined with a bacterial infection. In summer, there are more children with fever because of the heat and the poor ability of children to regulate themselves. In addition, infants and young children have poorly developed organs, low immunity and poor adaptability to the outside world. In addition, the hot and humid weather in summer increases the number of viruses and bacteria, which can easily cause respiratory infections and intestinal infections, accompanied by fever symptoms. About 80% of children’s fevers are caused by viral and bacterial infections; about 15% are caused by improper life care, such as wearing too many clothes in the heat, drinking too little water, and lack of air circulation in the room. For infants in their first year of summer, they are more prone to fever because their body’s ability to regulate the temperature difference between inside and outside is not yet sound. From the point of view of Chinese medicine, because children’s internal organs are delicate and their vital energy is not yet full, they are easily invaded by external evil, and they are “pure Yang’s body”, so they can easily turn into heat after feeling cold evil. In sudden climate changes, hot and cold irregularities and hot summer, children are weak in self-regulation of heat and cold, and are easily invaded by external evil, which can cause fever due to the loss of harmony between Ying and Wei.
