Four-month-old baby has fever on the back of his head

For a four-month-old baby, because he is still young, parents should observe the baby's health condition at their side. If something wrong happens, they should send the baby to the hospital for examination in time. Sometimes, mothers will find that their baby's body temperature is normal, but for some reason the back of the head feels hot. So, what exactly causes the fever on the back of a four-month-old baby's head?

1. The baby's temperature regulation center is not fully developed

Simply having a fever at the back of the head does not mean anything. If the back of the child's head just leaves the pillow, it should be hot. The human body temperature should be based on the core temperature of the body. The commonly used method of measuring body temperature is the axillary temperature measurement method. You can measure the child's temperature. If the temperature does not exceed 37.3 degrees, there is no problem.

2. The back of the baby's head becomes hot due to sweating. If the weather is hot, the back of the baby's head will sweat easily and cause fever.

Generally, the phenomenon of heat in the back of the head is quite common in summer. The weather is quite hot in summer, which will seriously affect the patient's mood. The patient will feel hot in the five parts of his heart and the back of the head will be prone to heat after a long time. Generally, this is a normal physiological phenomenon and the patient does not need to worry.

What should I pay attention to when my baby has a fever on the back of his head?

1. Therefore, pay attention to adding or removing clothes for your baby appropriately according to the weather and the temperature of the external environment.

2. It is recommended to apply a fever-reducing patch to the child, which has the effects of cold compress therapy, physical fever reduction, relieving headache and toothache symptoms caused by fever and internal heat, refreshing and awakening the brain, etc.

3. It is normal for people to sweat during work, exercise, or when they are emotionally excited or nervous. However, everyone has different physiques and body types, so the amount of sweat produced will vary.

5. Babies should pay more attention to rest and avoid overwork, which will greatly improve the condition.

After reading the above content, I believe many mothers already know what is going on. Generally speaking, the baby’s body temperature regulation center is not fully developed, so it will be more susceptible to external interference, body temperature will also change, and it may be caused by other reasons, so mothers should pay attention and monitor the baby’s body temperature every day.
