Fever is a common symptom in childhood, although it is commonplace, parents are particularly nervous when their children have a fever, and sometimes parents make mistakes in the care process, using some improper methods, thus affecting the effectiveness of treatment and care. This winter, Guangzhou is unusually warm, the weather is hot and cold, rainfall is low, resulting in the original high incidence of common cold, flu and other respiratory infectious diseases in winter and spring increased opportunities to take advantage of, here will be some parents care of fever children’s wrong practices pointed out, I hope parents take warning. I also provide some dietary precautions that I hope you will pay attention to. Every time I have to take great pains to deliver these to the parents who visit me, I hope you will learn more about these …… The child will be less likely to take a detour. A, wrong practice 1, the child wrapped up tightly. When a child has a fever, some parents are afraid that the child will then suffer from the wind, so the child wrapped tightly. I do not know, this not only affects the child heat cooling, but also induce pediatric febrile convulsions. The correct approach is: in the absence of cold wind blowing directly, take off too much clothing, or loosen the clothing, which is conducive to heat dissipation. 2, the choice of highly concentrated alcohol or cold water bath to reduce fever. People usually think that with such a method can play a rapid effect of fever reduction. In fact, it is not the case. Because when the child is feverish, the skin’s blood vessels expand, the temperature difference between body temperature and cold water is large, high concentration of alcohol or cold water rubbing bath will cause strong vasoconstriction in children, resulting in chills, shivering and other uncomfortable symptoms, and even aggravate the child’s hypoxia, hypoxemia. Alcohol rubbing baths have been eliminated, but many parents and the elderly do not know. The correct practice is: to use warm water for children to rub the bath, rubbing the bath is mainly the distribution of large blood vessels, such as forehead, neck, armpits, groin and thigh root, so as to achieve the effect of cooling. 3, incorrect use of antipyretic drugs. There are many parents who see children with fever and want to use antipyretic drugs to quickly reduce the child’s temperature (this is often the order of parents to the doctor); do not know that cooling too quickly does not mean that the condition has improved, if improperly applied, can also cause the child sweating profusely, deficiency and other adverse reactions, resulting in unnecessary injury to children. The correct approach is: when the child’s body temperature is lower than 38.5 ℃, you can not use antipyretic drugs, it is best to drink more water, while paying close attention to changes in the condition, or apply physical cooling methods; if the temperature exceeds 38.5 ℃, you can take antipyretic drugs, before using drugs, parents had better read the instructions carefully, or under the guidance of a pediatrician to use. 4. Randomly giving medicine to children. Pediatric fever is not uncommon in clinical practice, and some parents often go to pharmacies to purchase their own medication for their children for convenience. But because of the rapid changes in the condition of children, the poor tolerance of drugs, coupled with the lack of liver detoxification function of children, the kidney development is not perfect, so vulnerable to the impact of drugs, resulting in damage to organ function. When a mother has a cold, parents give their own cold medicine to the child to prevent infection, thinking of the role of prevention, but the child will have hematuria and drug-related damage after taking the medicine. The correct approach is: parents should not casually give their children the use of adult drugs, self-purchased drugs must also be taken under the guidance of a doctor, so as not to cause unnecessary harm to children. 5, blindly feed anti-inflammatory drugs. Pediatric fever is mostly seen in acute upper respiratory tract infectious diseases, such as viral and bacterial infections causing fever. But there are some parents, as soon as they see their children fever, they blindly feed anti-inflammatory drugs, and some parents of patients also require imported drugs. “It’s medicine three times poisonous”, abuse of anti-inflammatory drugs without understanding the real cause of pediatric fever can cause damage to the liver and kidney function of the child, increase the resistance of pathogenic bacteria to drugs, which is not conducive to the child’s physical recovery. The right approach is: when a child has a fever, it is best to go to the hospital and use medication under the guidance of a doctor. According to the condition of the right medicine, in order to play the effect of the medicine to the disease. 6, a small disease, a little disease on the drip. Many parents believe that the cooling effect of the drip is good and can be replenished with water, so the child a little fever, take the initiative to request a drip. Although this treatment is good, there are many adverse reactions and the possibility of cross-infection. The correct approach is to let the child rest fully, drink more boiled water, eat some easily digestible food, along with medication. If there is a persistent temperature and poor diet, intravenous fluids can be used. (Many times it is the parents rely on the drip, think fast, some diseases may not be so, I do not know, long-term so affect the child’s physique) Second, diet and conditioning 1, diet should be light. Fever, the whole body’s qi and blood upward and outward, relatively speaking, the digestive tract of qi and blood is reduced, so many children with fever, there will be “do not want to eat”, “want to vomit or vomit”, “abdominal distension and abdominal pain or diarrhea “These symptoms are the manifestation of the weakness of the spleen and stomach and their inability to transport and transform after the reduction of qi and blood inside. When you have fever, it is better to eat a light diet, so as not to increase the burden on the spleen and stomach, you can eat “white porridge”, “millet porridge”, “vegetable porridge”, “pumpkin Congee”, “bean curd soup”; after the heat subsides, appropriate tonic, such as “chicken soup”, “egg soup”, “minced meat “But meat should be eaten sparingly to prevent the return of “fever” (the so-called “food recovery”). 2, drink more warm water and hot porridge. External fever is a war between the body and “viruses”, “bacteria” or other disease-causing microorganisms. The most consumed during the fever is “fluids”, drink more warm water and hot porridge or to make “fluids” to be replenished. The fluid is not dry, fluid is popular, sweat can come out, urine and stool can be normal excretion. 3, more foot bath. The cold starts at the foot. Socks and slippers should be warm, keep dry, do not walk barefoot on the floor (many parents do not think so). Foot soak time is appropriate in about ten to fifteen minutes, you can repeatedly heat the water, it is best to sweat some. 4, physical cooling methods. Ice is suitable for children with high fever but no “fear of cold, chills, stuffy nose, clear snot”, from the point of view of Chinese medicine, if necessary, discriminatory use; if there is “fear of cold, stuffy nose, runny” children, it is appropriate to use the method of external application of warm water; fever period, with During the fever period, use “Ding Gui Er Navel Paste” to paste the Yong Quan point on the heart of the foot, which will help to lower the temperature. 5, if the chills without sweating high fever, available antipyretic drugs (such as “Merlin” or “pediatric antipyretic suppositories”, etc.) sweating to reduce fever, sweating after, it is appropriate to serve hot porridge, porridge can add some rock sugar. In this way, sweating without hurting the vital energy can also reduce the recurrence of fever.
