When a child has a fever, it is still easy to cause some health risks, especially when the high fever does not subside, convulsions and other phenomena will occur. So how to prevent children from having a fever and convulsions? Since it is a disease caused by high fever, it is natural to reduce the temperature as soon as possible after the fever. Generally speaking, physical cooling methods can be used for low-grade fever, but once a high fever occurs, you should rush to the hospital as soon as possible.

Generally, the normal body temperature of a healthy baby has a range. Usually, newborns and infants maintain it between 36.7-37.5℃, while toddlers maintain it between 36.6-37.3℃. However, the baby's body temperature is different at different times of the day. For example, most babies' body temperature will rise a little bit in the afternoon. Some babies' body temperature will also rise slightly after crying, exercising, or eating. These are all natural phenomena and parents do not need to worry.

There are many physical ways to cool down the baby, such as wiping the baby's body with warm water, keeping the room ventilated, and using cooling patches or small ice pillows, all of which are effective. However, since many diseases can cause fever in babies, parents must take their babies to the doctor, find out the cause and then use medication for treatment. Do not use antibiotics indiscriminately.

As for antipyretics, if the baby has a history of febrile convulsions, or the body temperature is too high, usually above 38.5℃ on the axillary temperature, they can be used for the baby in moderation. However, in addition to choosing children's antipyretic drugs, you must calculate the dosage according to age or weight according to the instructions. Do not use it excessively or too frequently, otherwise it will cause adverse reactions.

Parents can easily feel anxious when their baby has a fever, because many parents worry that their baby’s brain will be damaged by the fever. In fact, except for fever caused by diseases such as encephalitis that may bring neurological sequelae, common cold and fever will not damage the child's nervous system, but you must be careful to prevent convulsions.

I believe everyone is clear about how to prevent children from having fever and convulsions. In addition to paying attention to effectively preventing the occurrence of high fever convulsions, it is also necessary to deal with them promptly and correctly after the attack to avoid threatening and harming the children. In fact, as long as the child's physical resistance can be improved and the temperature can be reduced as soon as possible after a fever, there will not be so many troubles.
