What to do if your child has a fever or inflammation

It is very common for children to have a fever during their growth. However, parents should not blindly give their children medicine when they have a fever. If the temperature is high, it is best to take the child to the hospital for treatment in time. Indiscriminate use of medicine may affect the condition and the child's normal development, which is not good for the child's health. What should I do if my child has a fever and inflammation?

What should I do if my child has a fever or inflammation?

1. Physical cooling: you can apply a cold towel to the child's forehead, or use diluted alcohol to wipe the child's armpits, back, and other wrinkled areas. You can also soak the child's feet in hot water.

2. For drug treatment, you can give your child antipyretic patches and antipyretic and anti-inflammatory drugs.

3. Seek medical treatment, diagnose the cause of the disease through blood tests and X-rays, and provide reasonable and effective treatment.

4. Dietary adjustment: Children must drink plenty of water during a fever and eat a light diet. Avoid spicy and irritating foods, use less oil and salt, and eat more vegetables and fruits to supplement vitamins.

5. Pay attention to keeping warm. In this case, you must pay attention to keeping warm. The indoor air must be circulated, and the temperature and humidity must be appropriate to be more suitable for recovery.

If the fever is caused by inflammation, the effect of simply reducing the fever is not very obvious, and it is necessary to examine and treat the inflammation. When the inflammation disappears, the fever will go away. During this period, the symptoms should be relieved through both medication and dietary adjustments, which will be more effective. At the same time, attention should be paid to improving one's own resistance to better inhibit the occurrence of the disease.

What to do if your child has a fever

First, keep the indoor air circulating

When you find that your child has a fever, adjust the indoor temperature to around 25-27℃ first. If it is summer, you can open the windows to allow air to circulate.

Second, take off some clothes

If a child has a fever and is sweating all over, parents need to take off excess clothing to help the child dissipate heat.

Third, let your child drink more water

When a child has a fever, the body will sweat and water will be lost. At this time, giving your child more boiled water can not only prevent dehydration, but also promote blood circulation in the child's body, and can also play a certain role in cooling down.

Fourth, wipe your body with warm water

Give your child a sponge bath with warm water to dilate the blood vessels in his skin, thereby having a cooling effect.
