What should I do if my child has constipation and fever?

Generally speaking, children's physical resistance is relatively weak, so in some cold seasons or when the seasons change, children are prone to getting sick and having fever. Many parents think that their children should be sent to the hospital immediately as soon as they have a fever, but in fact, parents can also help their children reduce their fever through some simple measures. So what should you do when your child has a fever?

First, wear less clothes to allow your child to dissipate heat.

The traditional idea is that when a child has a fever, he or she should be wrapped tightly with clothes and quilts to "force" the sweat out. In fact, this is wrong. When children have a fever, they will shiver and parents may think that their children have chills, but in fact, this is because their increased body temperature causes convulsions.

Second, help your child cool down physically. There are the following common methods: 1. Cold wet compress on the head: Soak a soft towel in 20℃-30℃ cold water, squeeze it slightly to prevent dripping, fold it and place it on the forehead, change it every 3-5 minutes. 2. Head ice pillow: Fill the ice bag half full with small ice cubes and a small amount of water, expel the air from the bag, press the bag opening tightly, and place it on the pillow after there is no water leakage. 3. Wipe with warm water or take a warm bath: Wipe the child's head, armpits, limbs with a warm, wet towel or take a warm bath, scrub the skin more to promote heat dissipation. 4. Alcohol bath: suitable for cooling down high fever. Prepare 200-300 ml of 20%-35% alcohol and use it to rub the limbs and back.

Third, drink plenty of water and don’t take any medicine casually. When the fever is high, breathing speeds up and sweating causes the body to lose a lot of water, so parents should give their children plenty of water when they have a fever, increase urine volume, and promote the excretion of toxins in the body.

Through the some small methods introduced by the editor above, I believe that everyone will no longer be anxious when their children have a fever. Children's health is what all parents are most concerned about. Therefore, the editor recommends that parents should pay attention to keeping their children's clothes warm and let them drink more water when they are sick or have a fever, which will help the treatment of the disease.
