What is the reason for the child's persistent high fever? The inflammation in the body needs to be eliminated

A mother's biggest fear is that her child will get sick and have a fever. In many cases, the high fever will not subside and will recur over and over again, which will make the mother very anxious. When a baby has this phenomenon, it is often because the inflammation in the body has not been eliminated and it needs timely anti-inflammatory treatment and, if necessary, antibiotic treatment.

1. What is the reason for a child's persistent high fever?

Lung infection is caused by persistent high fever. From the perspective of Western medicine, persistent fever is caused by inflammation in the body. From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, it is caused by the struggle between positive and negative energy in the body or there is fire in the body.

2. When a child has a high fever, the following physical fever-reducing methods can make the child feel more comfortable:

1. Reduce clothing and quilts: When your child has a fever, remember not to let him wear too many clothes or cover him with too thick quilts. This traditional method of "covering the body to sweat" is not conducive to heat dissipation and fever reduction. Instead, it may cause febrile convulsions due to overheating. For many young babies, the body temperature can be lowered by simply reducing the number of clothes and blankets.

2. Drink more water: It helps to sweat and dissipate heat. In addition, water has the function of regulating temperature, which can lower body temperature and replenish the water lost by the body.

3. Cold compress: This method is simple and easy. Apply a cold towel to the forehead. After the towel becomes hot, soak it in cold water and apply it again. For older children, using cold water bags or ice bags may be more effective.

4. Wipe the whole body with warm water or take a bath: Undress the child, rub the whole body with a towel in warm water (about 37°C) or take a bath. This can dilate the blood vessels in the skin and increase heat dissipation; in addition, when water evaporates from the body surface, some heat will also be lost.

5. Warm alcohol bath: Alcohol bath: Dilute 70% alcohol with 1/1 tap water. The water temperature after dilution should be about 37℃-40℃. Put it in a small bowl. When giving a sponge bath, close the doors and windows, dip gauze or a soft towel in the alcohol in the bowl, and wipe the child's palms, soles of feet, armpits, inner sides of upper arms, and thighs, and then wipe the limbs and back. Do not wipe directly with alcohol, this method is not suitable for babies under 1 year old.
