What are the symptoms of baby fever?

Since many young parents have no experience in having a baby for the first time, they do not know how to take care of the baby. Some mothers cover their babies tightly when they sleep, and some even cover their heads. This is fatally dangerous for babies, because they will not lift the quilt by themselves. Some babies are too obedient and may suffocate from the quilt. Let’s take a look at the symptoms of babies being overheated.

When going to bed at night, many mothers like to hold their babies while sleeping, with the baby's nose and face against themselves. Sometimes they even accidentally cover the baby's head. Little do they know that doing so will make the baby sick, the so-called "heatstroke syndrome". The baby's lungs are deprived of oxygen due to excessive heat, breathing becomes difficult, body temperature rises, and he sweats and becomes dehydrated.

1. What are the characteristics of heat stroke syndrome?

Mothers lack experience and may over-warm their babies, which may lead to symptoms such as chest tightness, shortness of breath, difficulty breathing, high fever and even nausea and vomiting. It often happens when the baby is sleeping at night. He is prone to sweating profusely, sweating all over the body, and the quilt is sometimes soaked. In severe cases, the baby's skin will become dehydrated, the mouth will be dry, the head will be hot, and the body temperature regulation mechanism will be disrupted.

2. How to treat heat stroke syndrome?

1. Wipe the child's sweat first to clean the heat from his body

2. Implement physical cooling, wipe with warm water, apply cold towels, reduce clothing, increase the humidity in the air, and give the baby some water to avoid excessive dehydration.

3. If the baby is severely overheated and suffers from hypoxia, you can first perform artificial respiration on the baby, then notify the hospital in time and supply oxygen.

4. If the dehydration is severe, replenish the baby with saline solution in time and send him to the hospital for intravenous drip.

3. How to prevent it in daily life?

1. Don’t dress your children too much. What the old saying “clothes are three parts to keep you warm and seven parts to keep you warm” makes sense. It depends on the actual situation.

2. Don’t cover your head with a blanket when sleeping, otherwise it will easily cause hypoxia.

3. Don’t sleep with clothes on. Just wear a small piece of autumn clothing and make sure to maintain the indoor humidity.

4. The mother and child should not be too close to each other. Sleeping with the mother hugging the child may cause suffocation. In addition, the breathing rates of adults and children are different. In the same environment, the mother can easily take away all the oxygen from the baby and inhale the exhaled carbon dioxide into the baby's body, which is not good for the baby's body.

5. Don’t let your baby fall asleep while feeding. When the baby is sucking on the nipple, his face is facing the mother. If the baby is choked or blocked at this time, it will affect his breathing and may even cause suffocation.
