Fever is the most common discomfort for babies, and once a baby has a fever, mothers are anxious and often follow their own ideas and methods passed down from older generations to take care of their feverish babies. The actual fact is that you can find a lot of people who are not aware of this. There are 3 common misconceptions among mothers, so hurry up and see if you’ve been shot too. The first misconception: fever without medicine, only drink water will be good “is medicine three points poison!” Many mothers are worried about the side effects of drugs on their babies. In fact, baby fever is very common, if the temperature is lower than 38.5 ℃, and the baby is in good spirits, the mother does not need to rush to feed the baby medicine, more water and rest for the baby, and then with physical cooling will be better. However, according to expert clinical observation, most children with a temperature ≥ 38.5 degrees are more prone to significant discomfort (including crying, poor spirit, etc.), and high fever lasting a long time even to the risk of febrile convulsions and permanent brain damage. If the baby’s fever reaches 38.5 degrees Celsius or more or if the baby shows obvious signs of discomfort, give the baby a fever reducer in time. The “Guidelines for the Diagnosis and Management of Fever in Children Aged 0 to 5 Years (Standard Version)” clearly states that when a baby’s temperature exceeds 38.5°C and he or she is visibly unwell, a safe antipyretic should be given to the baby for fever reduction. Mothers should learn to follow professional dosing recommendations and give their babies antipyretics promptly to reduce fever with peace of mind. It is best to take safe fever-reducing medication from a trusted and safe brand that has developed medication specifically for children. Myth #2: Send your child to the hospital for an injection right away. Worried that your child’s illness will not be good if you drag it out for a long time, or if you want to pursue a faster way to reduce fever because you are watching your child suffer, many times, mothers choose to get an injection and give up on medication. The mother who still holds this idea should be careful. At present, the injections used to reduce fever in children are mainly aminopyrine and its derivatives, which have relatively large side effects and are prone to deficiency, shock and other problems. In addition, such drugs intramuscular injection of local irritation, may cause infection; and the baby for the injection is also very fearful and fussiness, a little inattention can cause accidents. According to the World Health Organization, more than 70% of infusions are non-essential, and clinical cases of water intoxication caused by infusions are not uncommon. Therefore, the pediatrician’s advice, in the baby’s gastrointestinal function under healthy conditions, should be preferred to oral drugs. Myth 3: Adult drugs can be halved for children Currently, there is a scarcity of children’s drugs on the market, and many adult drugs are only described as “halved for children” in the description of children’s doses. There is no differentiated dose for the baby’s age and weight, nor is there a standard health measure. Babies and adults are not only different in weight, but also in physiology and pathology, especially the liver, kidneys and other organs are not well developed, and the enzyme system is not yet established. Giving your baby fever-reducing drugs for adults will aggravate the metabolism of the liver or kidneys and easily produce adverse reactions. Therefore, mothers should remember not to give their babies fever-reducing drugs for adults, but to give them fever-reducing drugs for infants and children. It is also important to pay attention to the dosage while feeding your baby. In the Chinese Guidelines for the Diagnosis and Management of Fever in Children Aged 0 to 5 Years (Standard Version), the doses of common antipyretics (ibuprofen and acetaminophen) for children over 3 months of age are clearly defined. 1.5 ml. Mothers should always give their babies the standard dose as stated on the professional children’s medicine package in the guide, or they can choose to have a specially designed weight dose chart for their babies, so as to ensure accurate dosing and safe medication. Conclusion: Take care of your baby’s fever in three steps, correctly measure the temperature, appropriate physical cooling, more than 38.5 depending on the situation in time to choose antipyretic drugs! The safety of children’s medication is of great importance, mothers must choose the big brand of children’s medicine! The healthy growth of the baby is a lifelong lesson for every mother.
