When a child suddenly develops a high fever in the middle of the night, parents are often at a loss as to what to do. In fact, except for a few more serious illnesses that require immediate hospitalization, if the child has a high fever caused by a cold, gastroenteritis, etc., there is no need to rush to the hospital. You should first do some simple care and carefully observe the child's mental state before deciding whether to send the child to the hospital for diagnosis and treatment.

"If you find that your child has a fever in the middle of the night, you should first keep the room temperature at 24℃~26℃ and ensure indoor air circulation." You should reduce unnecessary clothing on your child and give your child more warm water. For children with diarrhea symptoms, you can supplement them with electrolyte water in time to prevent dehydration. Then take the child's temperature again, carefully observe changes in the child's activity level, and pay attention to whether there are other symptoms other than high fever. At the same time, use warm water to wipe the child's neck, armpits, groin, knees, etc. to promote heat dissipation from the body surface.

"If the body temperature exceeds 38.5℃, you should consider using some oral antipyretics to help your child reduce the fever." Wang Xiaoyan said that there should be a gap of four to six hours between each dose of the medicine. If an infant under six months old is using antipyretic drugs, the dosage of the drug needs to be calculated in detail.

Although it is easy for babies to have a fever, parents must not be careless. After all, this kind of fever problem can also cause harm to the child's health, so we need to understand scientific and effective responses and solutions, so as to help them reduce fever in time and avoid more adverse factors from causing harm to the baby.
