Is it okay to give a child a bath when he has a fever?

Many first-time mothers do not know what to do with many aspects of their children, and sometimes tragedy may occur due to the wrong choices made by the parents. Children are unable to correctly describe their condition due to their weak bodies. If the parents are also unfamiliar with the subject, the consequences will be disastrous. For example, what should we pay attention to when a child has a fever? Some parents will ask whether it is good for children to take a bath when they have a fever?

not good

Cooling method:

1. When a child has a high fever that won't go away, the first thing to do is to seek medical attention immediately, find out the cause of the child's high fever, and then provide symptomatic treatment.

2. Do not use antipyretics blindly

First of all, when a child has a fever, you should not blindly use antipyretics, because antipyretics only reduce temperature and do not treat the pathogens that cause the disease. Blindly using antipyretics may cause side effects. It is only necessary to use antipyretics when the body temperature is higher than 38.5℃, and be sure to pay attention to the dosage when using them.

3. Stay hydrated

Children consume body fluids quickly during high fever and are prone to dehydration symptoms, so during this period, you should pay attention to helping your child replenish his or her body water. During a high fever, you can drink an appropriate amount of water, or go to a pharmacy to buy oral rehydration salts for fluid replenishment. If there are symptoms such as decreased urination, children crying without tears, sunken eye sockets, dry mouth, etc., it is very likely that they are suffering from dehydration and should seek medical treatment immediately.

Dress appropriately

4. When children have a high fever, they should not wear too many clothes, cover themselves with too thick quilts, or "cover up sweat", so as not to affect the heat dissipation and make the body temperature rise higher. But at the same time, we must also pay attention to keeping the child warm. If the child has cold hands and feet and shivering while having a high fever, it is necessary to add clothes in time.

The above is a detailed introduction to the question of whether it is good to give children a bath when they have a fever from various aspects. I believe everyone is very clear about it. Parents should read the above introduction carefully so that they can make the right choice when their children have a fever. Children are weaker and can be easily infected by a virus, causing fever and other diseases. When a child has a fever, parents should detect it in time and take appropriate measures.
