Will a child's fever damage his brain?

When it comes to children's fever, parents will be more worried, because children's fever does have a relatively large impact on them. Therefore, in daily life, parents should also pay attention to helping children reduce fever correctly and reduce the impact of the disease. Fever can damage the brain, which is actually a sequelae of fever. If the fever is not effectively reduced, it can easily cause bronchitis, pneumonia and other adverse problems.

1. Many diseases can cause fever. Different diseases have different consequences. Fever is only a manifestation of the disease, not the cause. People usually just summarize the common symptom of these diseases - fever, but ignore the cause of the fever. "Burned brain, burned stupidity, burned deaf ears, burned legs unable to walk" are all sequelae of the corresponding diseases, not caused by the superficial symptom of fever.

2. Generally speaking, fever is the body's rejection reaction to foreign substances, which are usually pathogenic microorganisms in children. The body uses fever to limit the reproduction of pathogenic microorganisms, which should be a benign symptom for the body. Fever can limit the reproduction of pathogenic microorganisms. When the body is limiting the reproduction of pathogenic microorganisms, a sudden reduction in fever may give pathogenic microorganisms an opportunity to invade deep parts of the body. For example, the common cold may develop into bronchitis or pneumonia.

3. For fever, the most appropriate treatment method is to lower the temperature of the head through physical methods to reduce the excitability of the brain. Taking a bath can lower the surface temperature of the whole body, which is also acceptable. There is no need to pursue the cooling effect, as such an effect is often detrimental to the body. In addition, use less antipyretic drugs. Most common antipyretic drugs reduce fever by inducing sweating. When the body has a fever, the amount of water evaporating from the body surface increases. Coupled with the heavy sweating after taking antipyretic drugs, dehydration can easily occur. It is not easy for parents to detect dehydration in children in the early stages. By the time the internal environment deteriorates and more serious symptoms appear and it is discovered and rescued, the cost is already high.
