What should I do if my child has a fever and high blood test results?

Fever is a common disease in children. If a child has a fever, he will cry constantly. At this time, parents do not need to be too nervous, nor can they use random drugs to treat the child, because the child’s physical constitution is very poor. If random use of drugs may have adverse effects on the child, then what should we do if a child has a fever?

When you find that your child has a fever, first use a thermometer to measure the child's temperature. If the temperature is below 38.5 degrees, you don't need to take antipyretic drugs at this time. Such a fever is not very serious. Parents don't need to worry too much. The first thing we should do is to let the child drink more water. If you drink too much water, you will urinate, which can take away some of the body's heat.

At the same time, giving your child a hot bath can help dissipate heat. If the child is in good spirits when he has a fever, he can take more baths and adjust the water temperature between 27 and 37 degrees Celsius. Be careful not to give your baby a hot bath, otherwise it will easily cause vasodilation throughout the body, increase oxygen consumption, easily lead to ischemia and hypoxia, and aggravate the condition.

At the same time, after taking a bath, use 35%-45% alcohol to wipe the child, mainly in the areas where large blood vessels are distributed, such as the forehead, neck, armpits, groin and thighs, so as to achieve the effect of cooling down. Be careful not to rub the baby's chest, abdomen, and soles of feet to avoid causing adverse reactions.

You can also use an ice pillow to reduce fever. When a child has a high fever, you can make an ice pillow for the baby to use as a pillow. It is both comfortable and effective. Go to the hospital to buy an ice bag, pour the ice into a basin, break it into small pieces, rinse off the edges and corners with water, put them into the ice bag, add 50 to 100 ml of water, do not fill it up, 2/3 full will be enough, expel the air, clamp the bag mouth, wrap it with cloth or towel, and place it under the child's head and neck as a pillow. Replace the ice cubes when they melt, and the child's body temperature will soon drop.

Although a fever in a child is not a very serious disease, if it is not treated in time, it will have a great impact on the child.
