What to do if a 10-year-old child has repeated fevers

Parents are usually very worried about their children having a fever, because children generally have lower resistance and their physical fitness is not as healthy as adults.

Tonsillitis can be treated with antibiotics and antiviral drugs at the same time. If the body temperature exceeds 38.5 degrees Celsius, you can use physical means, antipyretics or medication to lower the body temperature. If the symptoms do not improve, a penicillin skin test can be done. If the skin test is negative, penicillin can be given intravenously. In addition, if the baby's fever is caused by tonsillitis, it is generally recommended to use physical methods to help the baby lower his body temperature.

1. A body temperature of 37.5-38℃ is a low fever, 38-39℃ is a moderate fever, and above 39℃ is a high fever. Low or moderate fever is beneficial to the baby's growth and development. Fever is the body's response to a viral or bacterial invasion. This reaction helps to eliminate invading viruses and bacteria, thus promoting the normal growth and development of the baby.

2. No medicine is needed unless the fever is high. If the body temperature reaches 39 degrees or above, medication must be taken immediately. If the high fever lasts too long, many important functions of the body may be disturbed; the burden on the heart and blood vessels may be increased due to the large consumption of oxygen and nutrients; the brain may be overexcited and cause high fever convulsions or over-inhibited and cause drowsiness; the digestive function may be disturbed; the resistance may be weakened and the lungs may be complicated...

What to do if your child has a fever of 39 degrees

A child's fever of 39 degrees is already a high fever and should be treated promptly. If you cannot go to the hospital immediately, you need to observe the child's fever condition, such as whether the child has slow reaction, convulsions, or other abnormal reactions. Parents can use antipyretic drugs and do some physical cooling at home.

A high fever above 39°C can easily cause convulsions in children. Children under 6 months old should be treated promptly when they have a fever because their condition changes rapidly. The World Health Organization recommends that no antipyretic drugs should be used for infants under 2 months old. Infants and young children under 3 months old should use drugs to reduce fever with caution, and physical methods should be used to reduce fever instead. If the antipyretic effect of medication is not good or the body temperature exceeds 39°C within two hours after taking medication, physical methods should be used to reduce the temperature. It takes a certain amount of time for drugs to take effect. When a child's temperature suddenly exceeds 40°C, physical methods should be used to reduce the fever immediately. What to do if your child has a fever of 39 degrees:

1. Warm water bath

Dip a towel in warm water (the water temperature should not be too hot to touch) and wipe the neck, armpits, and thighs for 5 to 10 minutes. You can also use a commercially available "cooling patch" (or a household ice pack) on the forehead to help dissipate heat and reduce temperature.

2. Take antipyretics

When your baby's fever exceeds 38.5 degrees, the doctor will consider using oral medications or rectal suppositories to reduce your baby's fever. Or if the above physical measures are not effective, you can take antipyretics orally......
