Fever is a common symptom of pediatrics, the face of the child fever some parents calmly treat, some parents are panicked, then the child fever should do? Below I give parents and friends to introduce several parents common misconceptions and a few suggestions: First, understand the common causes of fever: Fever is one of the clinical manifestations of a variety of diseases, acute fever in pediatrics is common in upper respiratory tract infections, bronchitis, pneumonia, intestinal infections, infectious diseases, Kawasaki disease, etc., in addition to fever is often accompanied by different clinical symptoms, such as upper respiratory infections accompanied by sniffles, sneezes, Slight cough; bronchitis, pneumonia is often accompanied by a heavy cough, shortness of breath; intestinal infections are often accompanied by diarrhea, abdominal pain, mucus stools or pus and blood stools; Kawasaki disease is often accompanied by dry and cracked lips and red, conjunctival congestion, prune tongue, lymph node enlargement, etc.; infectious diseases, such as measles, chickenpox, will be accompanied by red rashes, blisters and so on. However, it should be noted that the early stages of many diseases are similar to upper respiratory tract infections, which can be easily misdiagnosed. Second, a few misunderstandings in the process of medication: Misunderstanding one: fever that is antibiotics. Many parents see the child fever, immediately use antibiotics, parents often think that fever is inflammation, the need to use antibiotics, but do not know that many fever is due to viral infections, such as more than 90% of the upper respiratory tract infections caused by viral infections, herpes pharyngitis is caused by the Coxsackie virus, although the later can be combined with bacterial infections, but the fever that is the use of antibiotics is obviously a wrong approach. Myth 2: Unwillingness to accept routine blood tests. For the reasons mentioned above, it is not necessary to routinely use antibiotics for viral infections. Therefore, routine blood tests should be performed at the time of consultation, and anti-inflammatory drugs may not be used for the time being if the white blood cell count is not high. Nowadays, many parents do not want to do routine blood tests for different reasons, some parents are afraid of their children’s pain, some are afraid of spending more money, and some even think that as long as there is a fever, the blood count will definitely rise. The first two can be regarded as reasons, but the latter is really ignorant error. Because there is no blood test results, many hospital doctors often use antiviral drugs and antibiotics together. In order to prevent your child from suffering the side effects of antibiotics and to prevent you from spending more money than necessary, I hope you will make a wise choice. Myth #3: Proactively requesting intravenous fluids. Clinically there are indeed many fever diseases such as pneumonia, Kawasaki disease, infectious diseases, etc. need to be actively treated, can be considered intravenous fluids, but there are still many diseases such as upper respiratory tract infections, mild bronchitis, infantile rash, etc. has its natural course, that is, “the disease is like a mountain, the disease is like a silk,” disease healing process, therefore, as long as the active reduction of fever, avoiding the occurrence of alarm, and avoiding the occurrence of fever, I hope you choose wisely. As long as the fever is actively reduced, avoiding complications such as convulsions and myocarditis, the prognosis is generally better, and too much infusion will only leave the child with more sequelae. Such as 6 months to about 1 year old toddler rash, fever 3 to 4 days after the fever subsides after the whole body rash and cured, in the fever of 3 to 4 days of too much overdose can not shorten the course of the disease, on the contrary, it will delay the appearance of the rash, prolong the course of the disease. Myth 4: Stop medication immediately after fever reduction. The normalization of the child’s temperature does not mean that the disease is cured, it is only a sign that the disease has improved, and the virus or bacteria that caused the infection may not be completely controlled at this time. So the medication needs a certain course of treatment, in order to completely eliminate the body of bacteria, viruses and completely cured, otherwise the disease may be “resurgent”, so do not stop immediately after the fever, as far as possible, according to the course of treatment to take medication. Traditional Chinese medicine can be said to have a strong advantage in this regard. On the one hand, it can regulate the spleen and stomach, promote the recovery of the spleen and stomach function, stimulate the appetite, promote the absorption of nutrients, so that the function of the organs of the body can be quickly restored, and improve the immune function of the body, on the other hand, it can also be cleared of residual evil in the body, so that the disease can be completely cured. Myth 5: Eating greasy food during the recovery period. When children are sick, most of them will affect the function of the spleen and stomach, there will be a loss of appetite, parents do not have to be too anxious and worried, this is a temporary phenomenon. This is a temporary phenomenon. After the fever subsides, the digestive and absorptive functions of the child can be gradually restored, but it is impossible to return to the normal level at once. Some parents think that children eat less when they have a fever, and should be supplemented as soon as possible after the disease. In fact, at this time, the pediatric form of gas is not full, each organ function is not yet sound, digestion is weak, excessive supplementation not only will not be absorbed, but also increase the burden on the digestive organs. Individual children because the body of the evil heat is not clear, and eating fried sweet and greasy food to help dampness and heat, resulting in recurring conditions, known as “food recovery” in Chinese medicine. Clinical often see some children’s condition has been improved, fever has been improved, due to eating too much greasy food, fever reappeared. Therefore, after the fever diet is best to choose some light, easy to digest food, such as porridge, egg custard, noodles, etc., do not let the child to eat high-fat food, such as fried chicken, French fries, cream cakes, ribs, etc., so as not to affect the body recovery. Third, the introduction of several commonly available antipyretic drugs: high fever easily caused by pediatric convulsions, when you find your child fever should be taken seriously. In addition to previous history of fever convulsions and other special medical history, it is generally believed that more than 38.5 ℃ body temperature we apply rapid antipyretic drugs such as Tylenol, Merrill Lynch, Pepcidin, etc.. The less toxic side effects recognized in pediatrics are p-acetamidophenol and ibuprofen. If the child’s fever does not exceed 38.5 ℃ can choose some proprietary Chinese medicine antipyretic agents such as Chaihu oral liquid, go to feel the heat, antelope horn drops, pediatric double clear particles and other drugs orally, if the temperature can not be controlled more than 38.5 ℃ and then add to take rapid antipyretic drugs, if the temperature continues to do not go down, should be actively sought medical attention. Fourth, life tips: Nowadays there is such a phenomenon in clinical practice, children especially like to eat meat, snacks, dairy products, and not eat or eat less vegetables, resulting in children often dry stools, abdominal distension, thick and greasy tongue, this is the Chinese medicine of the “food accumulation”. Such children are prone to upper respiratory tract infections, cough, tonsillitis or pus. Therefore, parents are reminded not to pursue high nutrition, but should be nutritionally balanced, never partiality. If the above symptoms occur, the diet should be adjusted as soon as possible, taking some antinausea Chinese medicine such as antinausea tablets, Sanjiaxuan, Chicken Neijin and so on. Many parents have seen a significant reduction in their children’s illnesses as a result of the above methods. In addition, the child sweats more during the fever, the body water consumption increases, parents should give the child a little more boiled water and fruit juice, in order to replenish water and electrolytes. White radish water can eliminate food and laxative, watermelon juice and green bean soup is a good summer heat relief, pear juice has a moisturizing effect on the lungs and cough, rice soup, lotus root powder is easy to digest and absorb, tomato juice is rich in VC, boiled apple water can be supplemented with water can also be used to stop diarrhea, parents can choose at their discretion. In the recovery period after fever, the choice of diet can follow the principle of thin to dry.
