What should I do if my baby has a high fever and his temperature is sometimes high and sometimes low?

Babies often get sick due to their low immunity. Colds and fevers are common minor illnesses. Children with fevers need to be treated with medication. During the treatment, the body temperature may fluctuate, and this cycle repeats, making parents worry. So what should we do in this situation? Let's learn about it together, mothers.

1. First of all, we need to see whether the baby's mental state is good. If the mental state is good, you can temporarily not go to the hospital for treatment, but you must closely observe the changes in body temperature. If it exceeds 38.6, you must take medicine in time. If it is a low fever, just give the baby plenty of water. At present, let your baby drink more water. If he has a low fever, you can use a fever-reducing patch or alcohol rub. If he has a high fever, over 38.5 degrees, he needs to take medication.

2. Don’t panic if your baby has a fever. Make sure your baby drinks plenty of water. Don’t dress or cover your baby too much in summer. Holding your baby for a long time can also cause a high body temperature. Make sure to measure the body temperature frequently (it is recommended to use an infrared thermometer). Use warm water to wipe the forehead, neck, ears, armpits, elbows, coccyx, testicles (boys), (girls) the area between the anus and vulva, the posterior knee joints, palms, and soles of the feet, and soak your feet in warm water. Be careful not to let the room get suddenly cold or hot, and don't let your baby be directly exposed to the air conditioner or fan. Make sure to keep the room ventilated and at an appropriate temperature. Find out the cause of the fever, it may be due to indigestion, which is generally manifested by red face, red ears, hot palms, hot soles of feet, and bad breath. It is normal for some children to have a fever 2-3 days after receiving a vaccination. It could also be a viral infection. Remember to drink plenty of water and use the above methods to reduce your fever, and you will generally be able to get through it. An 8-month-old baby may have a rash, which will heal after the rash comes out. Generally, if the baby's fever does not exceed 38.5 degrees for a long time, there is no need to go to the hospital. If adults take good care of their children and spend more time with them and ask them to drink plenty of water, the babies will be able to survive.

3. This is basically the case when children have a fever. Their body temperature is sometimes high and sometimes low. At this time, you should drink more boiled water to maintain the moisture in the body and wipe the body with warm water to cool down, or use low-alcohol liquor to wipe the palms, soles of the feet, torso and other parts. It is best to apply a fever-reducing patch. If the child is older, you can drink cold medicine with shredded ginger, which will reduce the fever quickly.

It is common for children's body temperature to fluctuate when they have a fever. This reflects that the baby may be in poor health recently. Adults should pay more attention to the child's usual performance and observe the child's various changes. If such symptoms do not occur frequently, they can be handled at home, but you must pay attention to the method, because the child is still very fragile during this period. If this phenomenon often occurs in the baby, you should seek medical attention in time.
