What should I do if my baby has a cold and fever?

In fact, in our daily life, it is quite common for children to catch a cold and a fever. This is mainly because the children's bodies are relatively weak. The younger the child, the weaker the body's resistance. Especially newborn babies are more likely to catch a cold and a fever. In this case, you should reduce the fever of your baby in time. You cannot let them continue to have a high fever. You should take appropriate antipyretic measures according to the temperature of the fever. If the fever is high, you should take antipyretic drugs.

Theoretically, the cold is a self-limiting disease. Even without taking medicine, most children can recover on their own in about a week as long as they drink plenty of water and receive good care. However, babies have a weaker tolerance to illness and their condition changes rapidly, so even a mild cold should not be taken lightly.

The treatment of cold and fever is mainly symptomatic. Sunflower Children's Paracetamol Granules are commonly used, in which the acetaminophen component has antipyretic and analgesic effects; amantadine can resist the "subtype A" influenza virus and inhibit viral reproduction; caffeine is a central nervous system stimulant that can enhance the antipyretic and analgesic effects of acetaminophen. It is suitable for relieving symptoms such as fever, headache, sore limbs, sneezing, runny nose, nasal congestion, and sore throat caused by common cold and influenza in children.

Principles of medication for children's cold and fever

1. The dosage should not be too large and the duration of use should not be too long.

2. Drink plenty of water while taking the medicine to facilitate the absorption and excretion of the medicine and reduce the toxicity of the medicine to the child's body.

3. Children under 3 years old, whose liver and kidneys are not yet fully developed, should take the medicine in small doses.

4. Children or their family members who have a history of allergy to antipyretics should not use antipyretics.

5. Do not take antipyretics at the same time as alkaline drugs, such as baking soda, aminophylline, etc., otherwise the antipyretic effect will be reduced.

However, when feeding your children medicine, you cannot use too large a dosage, otherwise it will harm their bodies. And they should drink more boiled water during the medication process. This can not only reduce the harm of the medicine to the baby's body, but also make the medicine absorbed faster, or excreted, to achieve the effect of reducing fever.
