The main symptoms and causes are as follows: 1.Fever and runny nose at the same time – cold (cold syndrome) 2.Sore throat – pharyngitis, tonsillitis 3.Continuous fever of about 39 ℃, white eyes are bloodshot and out of the eyes – swimming pool fever 4.High fever in a hot place at the same time exhaustion – heat stroke (sunstroke) 5.Swollen parotid glands – mumps 6.Ear swelling, emotional stability – mumps -Swimming pool fever 4, high fever in a hot place at the same time, exhaustion – heat stroke (sunstroke) 5, swollen parotid glands – mumps 6, ear water, emotional instability — otitis media 7, coughing so much that you can’t breathe and have difficulty breathing — pneumonia 8, redness of the tooth bed, salivation — stomatitis 9, vomiting, cramps, bulging fontanelle — meningitis 10, vomiting, cramps, unconsciousness — pneumonia, acute encephalopathy 11, a lot of urine, hematuria — urinary tract infection 12, fever along with cramps –fever cramps Those who have fever with the following should be sent to hospital for treatment: 1. If the child’s fever is high, but the spirit is still good, after taking medicine to reduce the fever can still laugh and play, with the usual, indicating that the child’s condition is not serious, you can rest assured that at home to recuperate. If the child is depressed, tired, indifferent expression, it suggests that the disease is serious, should quickly go to the hospital. 2, observe the child’s face color. If the child’s face is as normal or flushed, you can rest assured that the care at home. If the face is dull, yellow, blue, purple, dull eyes, it indicates a serious condition and should be sent to the hospital. 3.Observe whether the child has violent, jet vomiting, if so, it indicates the possibility of craniosynostosis and should go to the hospital. 4.Check whether there is skin rash, if there is, it indicates infectious disease or drug allergy. Check whether the skin is purple and cool, if present it suggests circulatory failure. Both of these conditions require another trip to the hospital. 5. Observe the child for abdominal pain and pus and blood stools. Abdominal pain that does not allow pressing and rubbing suggests acute abdomen, and pus and blood stools suggest dysentery, etc., which must also go to the hospital. If the child only has a high fever, there are no various comorbidities mentioned above, although the fever is slow to subside, or sometimes repeated, there is no need to worry, should be patient at home treatment, care, can take the following measures: 1, keep the environment quiet, comfortable, moist, indoor ventilation regularly, adults do not smoke. 2, fever is the body’s protective response against microbial invasion, beneficial to enhance the body’s resistance, therefore, the body temperature below 38.5 ℃ do not need to take antipyretic drugs, only the body temperature exceeds 38.5 ℃ or more, then need to take antipyretic measures. 3, the sick child’s clothes should not be overdressed, do not cover too thick, and do not “cover sweat”, so as not to affect heat dissipation, so that the body temperature rises even higher. 4, to encourage children to drink more water, eat more fruit. After the fever, the child’s appetite is reduced, you can prepare some delicious and easy to digest meals, choose the child’s body temperature is not high, or take medicine to reduce fever time to eat, but do not eat too much. 5. Keep your stools open. Fever is probably the most time-consuming, worrying and anxious symptom for parents. When a child has a fever, it is logical that he or she should go to the hospital. So, how should parents take care of him before and after the doctor’s visit? At this point, parents need to carefully observe their child: 1. Temperature and the child’s mental state: It is not true that the higher the temperature, the sicker the child is. Some children may only have a mild infection and their body temperature will rise very high; some, on the contrary, are only mild to the touch on the surface of the body, even if they are very ill. Therefore, when a child is sick with a fever, parents should not only pay attention to the temperature, but also observe the general condition of the child. If the child has a high fever but is in good spirits, reacts normally to adult teasing and laughing, has no other changes in skin tone except for cheeks becoming redder; after the fever subsides, the child looks normal and is easily soothed, etc., parents need not worry too much. If the child wilts and becomes more and more like a sick person, sleepy, uninspired, poorly responsive, cries and is not easily soothed, moans constantly, cries weakly, and has a pale or gray complexion, even if the fever subsides and the child’s performance does not get better, parents still need to take the child to the doctor. 2. Convulsions: Although fever itself is not dangerous (unless it is above 41℃), it is necessary to actively take various ways to bring the child’s body temperature down to normal, relieve the uncomfortable feeling caused by fever and avoid convulsions. If the child’s body temperature rises too rapidly, the child’s immature nervous system will respond to the change with spasms. Some children may have premonitory signs before a convulsion, such as trembling arms, twitching lips or blank stares, while others may not have premonitory reactions. In addition, parents need to take care of their children, so that their children’s body temperature drops to normal as soon as possible. 1. Ambient temperature: You need to keep the living room environment as cool as possible. It is important to open the windows for ventilation. If the weather is hot, you can use air conditioning to cool down. 2, dress: should wear a little less, but not too little. Some parents are afraid that their children will get cold or want to let the child sweat, they give the child cover very thick clothes, and even covered with a thick quilt, this practice is not conducive to heat dissipation of the child’s body, but easy to make the body temperature rise rapidly, inducing febrile convulsions. Therefore, according to environmental changes to increase or decrease clothing. 3, diet: because the fever will make the child lose a lot of water, feeling thirsty, so you need to constantly give the child to drink water to replenish the lost water. You can also prepare fruits that contain more water for your child, such as watermelon, which is very suitable for the taste of sick children. In addition, nutritious and high-calorie foods such as sugar porridge and egg custard need to be supplemented with small and frequent meals. Children with fever have slow gastrointestinal motility and should not eat greasy food. 4, physical cooling: you can use the method of soaking in warm water bath. For children whose body temperature has risen too high (above 40℃), feverish and irritable, and who have had convulsions, you can try soaking in a warm bath. Let the water stay on the child’s body, through evaporation to lower the body temperature, but do not use cold water; you can also use 35% alcohol to wipe the neck, groin, armpits and other places for physical cooling. 5, antipyretic drugs: currently commonly used antipyretic drugs is containing “paracetamol” antipyretic and analgesic drugs. It is safe and effective, there are drops, solutions, tablets, parents can choose according to the age of the child. When the child’s temperature reaches 38?5°C or higher, it is necessary to take it correctly according to the doctor’s prescription or instructions. Fever is arguably the most common sign in babies. According to statistics, children who go to the hospital with a fever generally account for 10% to 15% of children’s outpatient visits. It’s no wonder that even calm parents panic when they see their child’s face burning red and scalding all over. What should I do if my child has a fever? Is reducing the fever the best way to go? What should parents do in the end? The first thing is not to rush to reduce the fever, but to find out the cause of the child’s fever. Fever is not a disease, it is like an alarm bell in the body, alerting you to an abnormal situation inside the body. At the same time, fever is also a defense measure of our body against disease-causing microorganisms, and in a way, a proper fever helps to strengthen the body’s resistance and facilitate the removal of pathogens. Therefore, if your child does not have a high fever, do not rush to reduce it immediately, otherwise it will hide the real cause of the disease. There are many causes of fever in children. Upper respiratory tract infections, gastroenteritis, tonsillitis, pneumonia and all infectious diseases may show symptoms of fever. In addition, children under one year old may also have fever due to urinary tract infections, gastrointestinal diseases, and hand, foot, and mouth diseases. In many cases, the real cause of the fever must be determined by a physician. Generally speaking, bacteria and viruses are the most common causes of infections in babies, and the treatment of fever caused by these two conditions is completely different. If it is a bacterial infection, the treatment will be very effective as long as the right antibiotics are chosen. If it is a viral infection, there is no specific medicine available, you can take virus spirit, plate blue root punch, gold silver flower, etc. The fever of a viral infection will fall on its own in a certain time, so don’t fret because of the fever, and use all the drugs in one go. If you have a fever, don’t mix and match your medicine. You need to weigh the pros and cons of giving your child fever-reducing medicine. The medication can certainly improve your child’s condition and make him or her feel better; however, it is also likely to have some side effects. The World Health Organization recommends against the use of any fever-reducing medication for infants under 2 months of age. In general, medication should only be used for children with high fevers. The method and dosage of administration must be done according to the doctor’s instructions. We recommend: do not give your child fever-reducing medication until the body temperature exceeds 38.5 degrees Celsius. If your child has a past history of febrile convulsions, you may want to give him/her fever-reducing medication at 38 degrees Celsius. It should be especially noted that many parents often give their children a mixture of different kinds of antipyretic drugs, some anxious parents, with oral medicine for half an hour did not reduce the fever, and add suppositories, however, the persistence of various drugs are different, mixed use may make the effect of drugs overlap. As a result, the fever is reduced too fiercely and too quickly, making the body temperature drop quickly to below 36 degrees Celsius. New problems arise. Parents can choose a kind of antipyretic medicine, familiar with its dosage and interval, to use it can be comfortable. The best method of physical cooling In addition to drugs to reduce fever, the use of some physical methods can also help fever children cool down. The physical cooling methods commonly used at home are generally alcohol baths, ice pillows or warm water baths, so which method is most suitable for babies? Alcohol rubbing is a common method to reduce fever, but now it is not advocated to use this method for babies, wiping the baby’s body with alcohol will cause rapid skin stretching and contraction of the child, the baby stimulation, in addition to the possibility of alcohol poisoning of small babies. The use of ice pillows or ice on the forehead to reduce fever is often used by many parents. But children within six months should not use this method, because small babies are susceptible to external temperature, the use of ice pillows will cause the temperature to drop too quickly, making it difficult for the baby to adapt. In addition, the baby’s whole body temperature is elevated when the fever, the local ice can only have a local cooling effect, rather than warm water wipe the baby’s whole body effect is good. Warm water rubbing bath is to use a warm water towel of about 37 ℃ to rub the child’s limbs and front chest and back. So that the high temperature of the skin (about 39 ℃) gradually reduced, so that the baby feel more comfortable. At this point, you can also use a slightly cooler towel (about 25 ℃) to wipe the forehead and face again. It is important to note: while these cooling treatments are being performed, if the child has so-called cold reactions such as cold hands and feet, shivering all over the body, and purple lips, stop immediately. Why? When the source of disease invades the body, the body temperature is raised to a corresponding temperature, which is the set temperature. Lowering the set temperature is the key to reducing fever in children. This is because if the set temperature is not changed, the body will still initiate thermogenesis to reach the target temperature while the heat is dissipated. At this point, bathing the child with cold water in an attempt to reduce the fever through heat dissipation will not only be ineffective, but will cause the child to shiver and chill, which is very painful. Wear more or less? When a baby has a fever, there is often a question that makes parents hesitate: should they wear more clothes to avoid shivering when they have a fever, or should they take off their clothes to help dissipate the heat? In fact, adding or removing clothes should match the fever process. When the set temperature is raised and the body temperature starts to rise, the child will feel cold, so a long-sleeved, breathable shirt should be added and antipyretic medicine can be given at the same time. Half an hour after taking the medicine, the medicine will start to take effect, the set temperature will be lowered, the body will start to dissipate heat, the child will sweat and feel hot, so you should reduce clothing or use a warm water bath to help reduce the fever. Children should not eat more eggs when they have a fever. When children have a fever, they usually have a poor appetite, so they should eat a liquid, nutritious, light and easy-to-digest diet, such as milk, lotus root powder and vegetable soup with less oil. When the body temperature drops and the appetite improves, it can be changed to semi-liquid, such as minced meat and vegetable porridge, noodles, soft rice with some easy-to-digest dishes. In addition, drink more warm water to increase the water in the body tissues, which has a stabilizing effect on the body temperature and can prevent the body temperature from rising rapidly again. When a child has a fever, many parents feel that they should be supplemented with nutrition, so they give the child a lot of protein-rich eggs, which actually does not lower the body temperature, but rather increases the body heat, prompting the baby’s body temperature to rise, which is not conducive to the early recovery of the affected child. A few simple fever reduction method 1, most baby fever is caused by cold and flu, if the baby has a fever, cold hands and feet, white tongue, pale face, light urine color, parents can use ginger brown sugar water to get rid of the cold, in the water and then add two or three one-inch long white onion, more favorable to the baby sweat. 2, if the baby fever sore throat, yellow tongue, yellow urine and heavy smell, indicating that the child’s internal heat is heavy, then you can not drink ginger sugar water, but should drink a lot of warm boiled water, but also in the water can add a small amount of salt. Some parents think that giving their children antipyretic drugs will suppress their immune function, but recent studies have shown that even after a child takes antipyretic drugs, the body’s defense system is still working and does not suppress immune capacity.
