Why does my child have a high fever?

Why does my child have a high fever?

If a child in the family has some illness, parents will be very anxious. This is mainly because children are vital in every family. And because families nowadays tend to spoil their children, they always feed their children some junk food, which will damage the children's immune system. Therefore, it is more likely that they will have a high fever, which will only make the child's immune system become lower and lower, and even there is no way to reduce the fever.

Fever is generally an acute infectious fever. In addition, some special diseases can cause fever lasting for more than one month, which we consider to be rare chronic diseases. Short-term acute fever is often related to infection. For example, viral infection, bacterial infection, or other pathogens such as mycoplasma and chlamydia. It is best to find out the cause in time and treat it symptomatically.

Diarrhea in children is a syndrome of gastrointestinal dysfunction caused by various reasons with diarrhea as the main clinical manifestation. The treatment is recommended to take children's compound pancreatic enzyme powder and Biqi orally, with an interval of one hour between the two drugs. Cover the navel with Dingguier navel patch. Pay attention to keeping the abdomen warm, reduce food intake appropriately, and eat light and easy-to-digest food. Give enough fluids to prevent dehydration

There are many causes of fever in children, which can be clinically divided into infectious and non-infectious. Infectious causes are more common. Antipyretics can only suppress the fever temporarily. If the infectious factors are not eliminated within one day, the fever will continue. The final treatment still depends on antibiotics. When the body temperature is too high, it is easy to cause high fever convulsions in children, so it is also necessary to control the body temperature, mainly by using drugs and physical cooling methods. It is recommended to perform blood culture plus drug sensitivity test to guide medication. Of course, children's fever may be caused by many diseases, such as leukemia. It is recommended to go to the hospital for further diagnosis and treatment.

I suggest you do a blood test for your child, which can roughly reflect whether the child is infected with bacteria or viruses, and then prescribe the right medicine. If there is a low fever, the body temperature can be reduced to normal by drinking more water. It is generally not recommended to use antipyretic drugs; if the body temperature is higher than 38.5, drink more water and take antipyretic drugs. If there is an infection, take anti-infective drugs and antiviral drugs at the same time, and drink more water.

Parents should not panic too much at this time and should remain calm. If their children continue to have a high fever, they can take them to the hospital for a physical examination, including a blood test. In this way, they can know the cause of their children's high fever and prescribe the right medicine. Basically, they can take some antiviral drugs.
