The baby’s body is delicate, but also the most sensitive, it is keenly sensitive to the change of seasons, the weather’s warm and cold, can be called the climate of the “barometer”, there is a breeze, that stared at the bright crystal eyes of the little elf is often a sudden flushed face, shortness of breath, heartbeat accelerated, depressed or convulsions, — the child has a cold and a fever. –The child has a cold and fever. What to do? What should I do if my child has a fever? Eighty to ninety percent of the people who come to the pediatric emergency room on the night shift have a high fever in the middle of the night. Young parents and even grandparents have to deal with a child’s fever overnight, and no one can sleep well, and the parents can’t even go to work the next day. Does a child with a fever, even if it is high, need to be so alarmed and fearful? Always at such times, I deeply feel that we parents really need to have some common sense in this regard. First, if you have a baby at home, always have antipyretics on hand. To know that high fever in infants and young children can often cause convulsions (commonly known as “convulsions”), and convulsions can be directly caused by cerebral hypoxia injury, so control the child’s body temperature to minimize the occurrence and duration of high fever is essential. If it is usually good health, no chronic illnesses of the child, in the cold after sneezing, sneezing and other symptoms, the evening body temperature suddenly rose, up to 38.5 ℃ or more, it is presumed that most of the fever due to the sense of the fever, for the time being do not have to rush to the hospital, the first at home to the antipyretic drugs, such as Tylenol, Anrexium, Merrill Lynch, etc., older children can be used to Paracetamol, the compound Paracetamol, and at the same time, the child to drink more water, the appropriate cooling, to bring the temperature down as soon as possible. As soon as possible to bring down the body temperature, and then go to the hospital the next day in an organized manner. In the middle of the night, even if a family of young and old all out to run to the hospital, the doctor on duty is often temporary to do fever symptomatic treatment, such as intramuscular injection of aminopyralid, dexamethasone, etc., which in fact, with the oral use of medication at home is the same role, but can be saved late at night to run and panic. If you have a history of febrile convulsions, you should pay attention to your body temperature. How high is the temperature? How to count high fever? Human activity is regulated by the biological clock, the body temperature is also in this regulation, so the normal body temperature 24 hours a day has a certain fluctuation, the lowest body temperature in the early morning, three or four o’clock in the afternoon, the highest body temperature, 24 hours can be 1 ℃ fluctuations in the range. Normal human body temperature fluctuation in ℃ ℃, body temperature in 37.4 ℃ or more is considered fever, 37.4 ℃ ~ 38 ℃ for low fever, 38 ℃ ~ 39 ℃ for moderate heat, 39 ℃ or more for high fever. Infants and young children for the high incidence of hyperthermia, because the child’s brain development is not yet perfect, the thermoregulatory center of the response to stimuli easy to generalize, so the child fever is different from adults, often once the occurrence of a rapid progression of hyperthermia, body temperature of 39 ℃ or more is a common occurrence. Adults and then body temperature up to 38 ℃ may have symptoms such as limb weakness, muscle pain, and children are often not. Pediatric body temperature of 38.5 ℃ or more is recommended to use antipyretic drugs. Third, appropriate heat dissipation. Most parents have the wrong idea that the child fever to give the child more clothes, cover, let him “cover sweat”. You should know that this artificially added to the child’s airtight barrier to the child’s body heat can not be effectively distributed, can lead to high body temperature plate does not fall, and even cause febrile convulsions; in addition, after using antipyretic drugs and then this “cover”, the child will be too much sweating and cause dehydration (“dehydration”). “The first step is to make sure that your child is not dehydrated.) Fourth, go to the hospital in time. Just because you use your own antipyretics at night doesn’t mean you don’t need to take your child to the hospital. Even if the child the next morning has not fever, but also to the hospital to let the doctor to the child to do a comprehensive examination to exclude other diseases, a clear diagnosis and develop a correct treatment program. Otherwise, the child’s “root cause” is not removed, the temperature will rise again. Fifth, try to oral medication, reduce intravenous infusion. Parents are often particularly sensitive to the child’s fever, come to the hospital to urge the doctor to quickly give the child fluids, hate to instantly suppress the child’s body temperature. At present, due to the status quo of “protective medicine”, pediatricians have to cater to the requirements of parents, give the child a large number of infusions of antibiotics and hormones (such as dexamethasone), the child’s body temperature is quickly down, but the abuse of antibiotics will produce drug resistance, and can cause the child’s body flora imbalance; and repeated, repeated application of hormones, can cause Children’s body immunity decline, and then recurrent respiratory tract infections, the two form a vicious circle, which is a common cause of recurrent respiratory tract infections in children. In fact, the pathogen of upper respiratory tract infection is more than ninety percent of the virus (can be combined with bacterial infections), which has a self-limiting course of about a week, there is no need to make such a big move “to do”. Sixth, the rational application of oral medication.
