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

We all know that the baby's immunity is relatively weak. If our mothers do not do the relevant protective work, it is easy for the baby to have symptoms of fever and cold. When the baby has a fever or a cold, the first thing our mothers should know is how to deal with it. Do not take medicine at will, because medicine will have an impact on the baby's physical growth. It is recommended that you use physical methods to reduce fever.

If it is a cold, just take some cold medicine. For example, Xiaokuai Ke children's cold granules can reduce fever by themselves, so there is no need to take special antipyretic medicine. Pay attention to whether the ambient temperature is too high. In the hot summer, the temperature is very high and the baby's ability to regulate its own body temperature is poor. When the mother holds the baby, the heat is not easy to dissipate, causing the body temperature to rise. However, this kind of fever usually does not last too long. Put the child in a cool place, fan him slightly, give him some cool fruit juice, or give him a warm bath, and the body temperature will return to normal after a few hours.

Children's antipyretic drops, suspensions and granules specially designed for children have the characteristics of good dispersibility, rapid onset of effect, accurate dosage and good taste. In addition, the drug instructions are detailed, with dosage and daily dose frequency listed for different age groups and corresponding weights, and precautions are clear.

The commonly used Aben tablets are a compound preparation of aspirin and phenobarbital, which have been clinically well received for their use in reducing fever in children. It is generally used in small doses for short periods of time to reduce fever and is relatively safe. However, this drug can cause adverse reactions such as neonatal cyanosis, umbilical bleeding, vomiting blood, and bloody stools, and should be prohibited for use in infants and young children.

I believe that after reading the methods of dealing with baby’s fever and cold introduced above, mothers should all know how to deal with this common disease. If the baby has symptoms such as fever and cold, we can use a towel dipped in warm water to reduce the fever, or we can take the child to the hospital for treatment. Remember not to give the baby medicine at will.
