First aid and nursing methods for children with high fever convulsions

It is easy for children to have high fever convulsions. Parents should detect it in time and use physical cooling methods such as warm and wet towels when children have a fever. It should be noted here that if the child is young, never use wine or alcohol to reduce the temperature. Sometimes doing so is very dangerous. If physical cooling is not effective, take antipyretics immediately and take the child to a pediatric hospital for relevant examinations and treatment.

Parents should always keep an electronic thermometer at home and measure their baby's body temperature at any time. Never wait until the baby has a high fever to discover the fever. Even if the baby has taken antipyretics, the body temperature should still be measured at any time. Let the baby drink more water and not wear too many clothes, otherwise the body temperature will rise. The house should be kept ventilated. If the temperature exceeds 38 degrees, you should see a doctor in time. Generally, if the temperature exceeds 37 degrees, it is a fever.

The main thing is to give timely cooling treatment, which can be done by using drugs and physical cooling measures. Then go to the hospital for treatment according to the cause of the fever. The most commonly used physical cooling method is alcohol bath. Use 30% warm alcohol to alternately wipe the limbs, armpits and other parts. Do not wipe the chest, abdomen and back of the neck.

The general principle is to eat easy to digest, nutritious, small amounts and multiple times, and increase water intake, so as to avoid forcing children to eat a large amount of food, which would put a heavy burden on their gastrointestinal tract. When a child has a fever, the consumption of various nutrients in the body increases, and fever reduces the production of digestive juices, which reduces the child's gastrointestinal function.

In addition, we should also pay attention to daily care. Because the child's gastrointestinal function is not yet perfect, they should eat some nutritious and easily absorbed food, ask the child to drink more water, eat small meals, do not eat indigestible food, strengthen nutritional supplements, improve the body's immunity, eat more fruits and vegetables, increase gastrointestinal motility, etc., which are all beneficial to the child's recovery.
