What is going on when my child keeps having a fever?

I don’t know if you have ever encountered a situation where your child has a fever all the time. If not, you are very lucky. If so, you must have been extremely anxious at that time. However, in the end, you will all know what causes your child to have a fever. In fact, there may be many reasons why a child keeps having a fever. It may not be because he or she has caught a cold due to not wearing enough clothes. Now let me introduce what is going on when a child keeps having a fever.

Fever is common in children, and there are many causes of fever, such as upper respiratory tract infection, various acute infectious diseases, etc. Moreover, the baby's body temperature is easily affected by external factors, so parents should not panic if their children have a fever. First of all, we should distinguish whether it is physiological or pathological. For physiological fever, such as children wearing too many clothes or after activities, no treatment is required; for pathological fever, you may wish to use the following methods to reduce fever.

1. Warm water bath: use warm water of 32 to 36 degrees Celsius for sponge bath or immersion bath. A sponge bath is to scrub or massage the child's entire skin with warm water; when taking a bath, the child's entire body should be immersed in the water. A warm water bath can stimulate children's skin, dilate capillaries, accelerate blood flow, increase heat dissipation, and clean or dilate the openings of sweat glands to facilitate sweating, thereby cooling down quickly and effectively. Each warm water bath should last for 5 to 10 minutes.

2. Alcohol bath: Wipe with 25% to 35% alcohol. Parents can dip a handkerchief into the prepared alcohol solution, starting from one side of the child's neck, wiping from top to bottom along the outside of the arm to the arm, and then wiping from the armpit to the palm. The treatment method for the other side is the same. For the lower limbs, you can rub from the outside of the child's thigh to the instep, and then from the groin to the sole of the foot. Rub your armpits, groin, soles of feet, and palms with force, repeating back and forth several times. Alcohol can dilate the capillaries on the skin surface, increase heat dissipation, and quickly reduce the temperature. However, you must be gentle when operating on babies to prevent skin damage.

To sum up, the editor has racked his brains to summarize the various reasons why children keep having a fever. Fever can be mild or severe for children. If there are no conditions for medical treatment at the time, you can try some of the situations mentioned by the editor above, and then take the right medicine in time. Of course, if the child's condition is very serious, he should go to a regular hospital for treatment in time.
