1.Can I take antipyretic drugs to cover the sweat? “When the fever covers the quilt to cover a cover, more sweat to reduce fever quickly.” In the opinion of the people, this is a very common cooling method, but in fact is a big misunderstanding. Especially after taking antipyretic drugs for high fever, excessive sweating will not only be detrimental to heat dissipation, but will make the body temperature rise higher in a short time, and may also cause dehydration. In addition to not covering the sweat with a quilt, you should also untie your clothes and loosen them up to increase the area of the body surface in contact with the air, which is conducive to the evaporation of sweat. In the absence of cold wind blowing directly, loosening the clothes is also a good way to cool down. Hu Xiaoguang, Department of Pediatric Respiratory Medicine, The Second Hospital of Wenzhou Medical University In addition, it is very worth reminding that you should never rely on antipyretic drugs or even repeat them. Many people will take an extra piece of antipyretic medicine when the fever does not go down quickly, or add other antipyretic medicines or cold medicines containing antipyretic ingredients, which are very dangerous. Therefore, be sure to use antipyretic drugs in strict accordance with the drug instructions. 2.Is it okay to rub alcohol to reduce fever when you have a fever? When a fever is difficult to reduce, rubbing alcohol on the child to reduce the temperature is a method often used by many parents. In fact, after the alcohol bath, the child’s skin temperature drops too quickly will cause the subcutaneous capillary constriction, the human blood can not be well circulated to the body surface, and thus can not be effectively distributed through the body’s heat, so it will not achieve the desired cooling effect. At the same time, alcohol can also be absorbed through the skin, and there is a risk of alcohol poisoning. Therefore, it is not recommended to use alcohol baths, warm water baths are sufficient. 3, fever, should I wear more clothes? Many families have this question, especially some grandparents are afraid that the child will catch a cold again, regardless of whether the child is comfortable only home clothes, the child wrapped and dumplings like. This move, despite the love, is not desirable. The child’s fever is divided into two stages, in the stage of rising body temperature, the child will feel cold, serious will appear cold hands and feet shivering; in the body temperature reached the peak after entering a sustained fever and the subsequent drop in body temperature stage, when the child began to feel feverish, manifested as warm extremities, face and even whole body skin flushed and hot. The folkloric “swinging” is a typical performance. Therefore, in the stage of rising body temperature, to increase clothing in time to pay attention to keep warm; in the patient began to feel hot when they must try to reduce clothing in order to dissipate heat. 4, played the saline why the body temperature is still high ah First of all, we must understand why people have a fever, fever is a stress response of the human body, when the body has some abnormalities, most commonly viruses or infections, the body’s immune system will make a series of responses to deal with this situation, at this time, the symptoms of fever may appear, how to eliminate the symptoms of fever it, the simplest is to prescribe the right medicine, directly solve the fever itself, so that the body temperature returns to normal, you can use physical cooling, or take antipyretic and analgesic drugs (paracetamol, etc.) – if you use these means, you should be able to directly lower the body temperature; the other is to treat the cause, to address the internal cause of the fever, which is the infection. Obviously allopathic treatment can really solve the problem. But why hanging saline did not drop the temperature, because first, if it is a bacterial infection antibiotics take time to work (usually 48-72 hours); second, the improvement of fever is not a diving type, the temperature will no longer rise once it drops, but like we usually see the ebb of the sea, the temperature gradually lowered in waves. In addition, if it is a viral infection, the infusion of antibiotics is basically ineffective. Some parents always think that children with fever will get better quickly with infusion and will not get better without it. Once the child’s temperature is still recurring after the infusion, they are even more anxious and will repeatedly ask the physician why the child still has a fever after the infusion. In fact, as physicians, we never think that a child’s fever will get better with fluids or get better quickly. In particular, fever is not a disease, it is just a signal from your body that you are sick. There are various diseases that cause fever, and only some of them are bacterial infections that can be cured with anti-inflammatory drugs. Therefore, in order to get better with fever, you can only find out the root cause of the disease as soon as possible and remove the cause of the disease, not necessarily with strong means to suppress human fever before that. 5. Infusion is not fast In most cases, upper respiratory tract infections, such as “colds and flu”, do not need to be treated with infusion. However, if a child has a persistent high fever, with a temperature of 39 degrees for 3-4 hours or more, or even for several days, while eating and drinking very little, then intravenous hydration and some vitamins and minerals are beneficial for cooling and recovery. However, if the child is in good spirits, activities as usual, diet reduction is not obvious, it is not necessary to infuse fluids, pay attention to drink more water, continue to observe temperature changes. 6.When the body temperature is high, 39-40 degrees, will it burn the brain? Having a cold and fever is a normal body reaction. Fever itself is not only normal, but also a necessary function. When a child has a cold, the fever center in the body flexes its metabolism in order to overcome the infectious germs that have invaded from outside, thus dissipating heat. The fever caused by the cold is monitored by the fever center and thus does not damage our brain tissue. 7. What is the normal body temperature? The average normal body temperature is between 36 and 37℃ (armpit), beyond this range is fever, below 38℃ is low fever, above 39℃ is high fever. 41℃ is dangerous. Most people believe that the normal human body temperature is constant, which is a misconception. In fact, body temperature varies from one part of the body to another, as well as from morning to evening. In addition, there are differences between men and women. So what is the normal body temperature of the human body? The normal human oral temperature is 36.5 ~ 37.2 ℃, the axillary temperature is 0.3 ~ 0.6 ℃ lower than the oral temperature, rectal temperature (also known as anal temperature) is 0.3 ~ 0.5 ℃ higher than the oral temperature. In the biological rhythm of the day, the body temperature is lowest in the morning from 2 to 5 am and highest in the afternoon from 5 to 7 pm, but the difference should be less than 1 ℃ during the day. In addition, the body temperature of men and women are also different, women’s body temperature is generally about 0.3 ℃ higher than that of men. Women’s body temperature is also related to menstruation. Therefore, the human body temperature has a more stable range, but it is not constant.
