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

Urticaria is a very common skin disease, of course, it may be an allergic behavior. Patients with urticaria will develop large red rashes on their skin and may also experience itching. Some children with urticaria may also have a fever. Fever can cause great harm to the body, so it needs to be treated promptly. So how should urticaria be treated if it causes fever? Next, we will introduce the treatment methods for urticaria and fever in children.

1. Children with measles should be isolated at home unless there are any complications. The isolation period is 5 days, and if there are complications, it needs to be extended to 10 days. Since the measles virus quickly loses its pathogenicity once it leaves the human body, the purpose of air disinfection can be achieved as long as windows are opened frequently for ventilation in the room. After coming into contact with a sick child, parents only need to stay outdoors for 20 minutes to avoid infecting others.

2. Rest in bed until the rash subsides and the symptoms disappear. In order to allow sick children to rest well, a good rest environment should be created for them. The room should be quiet, the air should be fresh and moist, and windows should be opened frequently for ventilation, but drafts should be avoided and cold wind should not be allowed to blow directly on the sick child. Strong light should be avoided to irritate the sick child's eyes. Curtains should be drawn on the windows and light bulbs should be covered with lampshades. The sick child should be dressed and covered appropriately. If he is overdressed and covered, he will be covered in sweat and will be easily caught a cold when exposed to the wind, which may lead to pneumonia.

3. Provide light and easily digestible liquid or semi-liquid food. Drink more water or hot soup, which will not only help to excrete toxins from the body and reduce fever, but also promote blood circulation and make the rash easier to break out. When the rash subsides and enters the recovery period, add nutritious food in time. There is no need to avoid certain foods except raw, cold and greasy foods.

4. Pay attention to the cleanliness of the sick child's skin, eyes, mouth and nose. When the measles virus invades the human body, it not only causes rashes on the skin, but also causes secretions in the conjunctiva, oral cavity, and nasal mucosa, which contain a large number of viruses.

5. Care for high fever. If the child with measles has no complications and the fever does not exceed 39°C, there is no need to take antipyretic measures. If the fever is above 39°C, some antipyretic measures are needed, such as taking a small amount of aspirin as directed by the doctor, and avoiding cold compresses and alcohol baths.

The above article introduces some methods for treating children's urticaria. When reducing a child's fever, it is best to choose physical cooling methods. However, if the child's temperature is relatively high and has exceeded 39 degrees, then medication is needed for forced cooling. At the same time, you should constantly wipe the body with a towel. Wiping the child's entire body several times can help reduce the temperature.
