A, fever cover sweat, can help reduce fever baby fever, parents will give the baby wear three layers outside three layers, and even covered with a large quilt, think the baby wear thick point can cover sweat, a sweat to reduce fever. The result is counterproductive, the excess heat spreads out baby body temperature rises rapidly, not only uncomfortable, there may induce convulsions it. In fact, babies often have poor peripheral circulation when they have a high fever, so the head and torso are hot, the hands and feet are cold, and older children will say they feel cold. This is the correct approach is to slightly untie the baby’s clothes, so that it is fully heat dissipation; and cold hands and feet parts to be properly warm, such as warm water compresses a compress, with hands to the baby rub hands and feet, etc., so that the child’s hands and feet become warm to more easily dissipate heat, conducive to fever. Second, the fever can not take a bath, can not blow air conditioning, can not fan some elderly people think that the baby fever can not take a bath, can not blow air conditioning, can not fan, or easy to cold aggravate the disease, there is no scientific basis for this statement. In fact, children with fever soak a warm bath is a very economical and effective physical cooling method. If it is inconvenient to take a bath, using warm water to wipe the body is also conducive to heat dissipation to reduce fever. The bath water temperature is 1-2°C lower than the body temperature is appropriate, and each bath for about 15-30 minutes. If you only wash for 3-5 minutes, the effect of reducing fever will be greatly reduced. If the body temperature is still high after a period of warm water bath, then you can repeat it again after a short period of time. Physical cooling is not compared to taking fever-reducing drugs, it is not limited in time intervals and times. Third, high fever also do not eat antipyretic drugs afraid to influence the doctor’s diagnosis Some parents think that the child ate antipyretic drugs, the baby fever and then go to the doctor will affect the doctor’s judgment of the condition. In fact, this idea is a bit too much to worry about. We recommend that whenever you take your child to the hospital, you have a thermometer and a bottle of fever-reducing medicine in your bag. The thermometer is convenient to take the temperature at any time and carry the fever-reducing medicine with you. If your baby has a fever over 38.5°C and is unwell, you can give your baby the medicine before waiting to see the doctor. If your baby has a history of febrile convulsions, you should actively reduce the fever. You can take antipyretic medication when the temperature is 38°C or just starting to rise, so that your child’s temperature does not rise too fast and too high as much as possible. Some parents think that a fever will “burn the brain” or “burn into pneumonia”, so they panic when they find that their child has a fever, and they don’t even have time to measure the temperature before giving the child medicine. Usually pediatricians use 38.5°C as the cut-off point for whether to take antipyretic drugs. However, we should also know that the purpose of giving fever-reducing medication to children is to reduce the discomfort caused by fever. Therefore, it is more important to be patient-specific rather than temperature-specific as to when fever-reducing medication is needed. That means there is no one-size-fits-all standard. If you feel uncomfortable, you can consider giving medicine, and if there is no particular discomfort, there is no need to take antipyretics. In fact, a low fever below 38°C rarely causes serious discomfort in children and does not require antipyretic medication. Some children have a temperature of 39℃, but they are still in good spirits and can clap and sing and play games with their parents, so antipyretics are not necessary in this case. Sometimes the temperature is high and the child is sleeping, so there is no need to wake up the sleeping child and give them a fever reducer. For some older children in high school, they do not tolerate fever as well as younger children, and sometimes they feel headaches and discomfort just above 38°C. In this case, we do not need to be dogmatic and have to give fever reducers only when the temperature exceeds 38.5°C. Taking antipyretic drugs does not speed up the recovery from colds and other illnesses, but increases the unnecessary metabolic burden on the liver and kidneys. So parents should not panic too much about fever, and do not take antipyretic drugs immediately no matter what the fever is. Newborns and 3-month-old infants should be more cautious with antipyretics. Because of their light weight and large body surface area, it is not easy to control the dosage of antipyretic drugs for small infants, which can easily lead to deficiency or gastrointestinal tract damage. Parents should consult their pediatrician before giving their children medication. Five, infusion to play “fever shot” will reduce the fever faster often meet parents at night to take the initiative to request infusion for their children, saying “the day has come to the hospital to see the disease, said it is a cold, only prescribed drugs, and now fever, midnight to come to the emergency room is to come to the baby to make a shot to reduce fever. ” Seeing the parents stay up late with haggard eyes, I can only helplessly tell them that in fact, there is no need to make such a fuss. Acute upper respiratory tract infections, or what we commonly call “colds”, are mostly caused by viruses, which are “self-limiting” in nature and have a process of occurrence, development and remission. Infusions do not heal faster. If there are no complications and the cold symptoms are not so serious that it affects your life, you can wait patiently for the disease to recover naturally without the need for medication. There is no specific medicine for the cold virus, so it is not worthwhile to give the baby an unnecessary shot, which increases pain and wastes money and time. The number of babies with cold and fever that really need fluids is very small, and those that need fluids usually have serious complications or some special clinical conditions. What are the cases that really need fluids? If your baby has a high fever that does not go away for a long time, has poor feeding, drinks little water or has particular difficulty in feeding, you may consider infusion. The purpose of infusion in this case is to rehydrate, pre-treat dehydration and improve electrolyte balance. Babies who eat less and are mentally tired will be more likely to have their fever reduced and feel more comfortable after receiving enough fluids, sugar and electrolytes. To sum up a few words: 1, baby fever smart response, less clothes and more water; 2, physical cooling is the basis, do enough work to good effect; 3, antipyretic drugs with you, when the medication decisively serve; 4, low and medium fever do not panic, small baby medication should be careful; 5, common cold often heal themselves, unnecessary infusion do not force.
