How to deal with a 1.5-year-old baby having a fever and cramps

Every child will encounter some things that make their parents unhappy during the period of growth and development. The most common ones are colds, fevers, cramps, diarrhea, and runny noses. Recently, a friend's one and a half year old baby has been suffering from fever and convulsions all the time. He has seen both Chinese and Western doctors and tried folk remedies, but his condition has not improved. It happened that I was flipping through a book and saw an article about how to deal with a one and a half year old baby who has a fever and convulsions? Now let's share it together.

If your baby has a fever or convulsions, lay him or her flat on the bed and make sure he or she does not come into contact with any sharp, hard objects. Later, lay your child on his side to allow him to breathe more easily and prevent saliva or vomit from blocking his trachea. Do not try to pry your child's mouth open; a child who is having a seizure due to a fever or other cause is not in danger of biting his tongue.

If there is air conditioning at home, maintain the room temperature between 25 and 27 degrees Celsius. You can place the child in an air-conditioned room or use an electric fan to blow around him to slowly lower the body temperature, so that the child will feel more comfortable. But if the limbs are cold and the patient is shivering violently, it means that the patient needs warmth, so he should be covered with a blanket.

If your baby's limbs, hands and feet are warm and he is sweating all over, it means he needs to dissipate heat and he can wear less clothes.

Undress your baby and rub his whole body with a warm towel. This will dilate the blood vessels in the baby's skin and release body energy. In addition, when water vapor evaporates from the body surface, it will also absorb body heat, which will help sweating and prevent dehydration. Water has the function of regulating temperature, which can lower body temperature and replenish water lost in the baby's body.

If a fever convulsion lasts more than 4 minutes, you should go to the hospital immediately; if it is less than 4 minutes, you can wait until the child feels better and rests for a while before going to the hospital.

Today, I believe that no matter you are a parent or are about to become a parent, you should know what to do when you encounter a one and a half year old baby with fever and convulsions. Yes, it is that simple. As long as we as parents take good care of every baby, every baby will have a healthy and happy childhood. This is also our greatest pursuit as parents.
