What temperature is considered a fever in a baby's armpit?

Fever is a common disease in people's daily life. There are many reasons for fever, but many friends are not very clear about it. Most fevers are caused by human body infection of bacteria or viruses, so the human body will have a fever reaction. Now let me give you a detailed introduction.

The most common cause of fever in children in summer is upper respiratory tract infection, which usually presents symptoms such as sneezing, chills, coughing, and headache. If the fever is not high, below 39 degrees Celsius, it can be dealt with at home. Let your child get more sleep, drink more water, take some cold medicine, and he will be fine after a few days of rest. Don't be too nervous. If a child has a high fever above 39 degrees Celsius, pneumonia should be suspected.

If severe cough and high fever persist, and in severe cases convulsions may occur, you should go to the hospital for treatment immediately. Many people think that pneumonia is caused by fever. This view is incorrect and the cause and effect are reversed. The most worthy of attention is the fever caused by bacterial dysentery. The fever is very high. Once coma occurs, it may be a manifestation of bacteriotoxicity. The patient should be sent to the hospital for emergency treatment in time, otherwise his life will be in danger.

To deal with children's fever, most families currently use two methods: one is to take antipyretic drugs, and the other is to use external cooling. In fact, neither of these two methods is worth recommending. Fever is an immune response of the human body to fight against germs, and germs are easily killed at relatively high temperatures. Many people have "fever phobia", which protects the body, but parents are often afraid that their children will develop a fever and give them antipyretics from time to time. As a result, even if the temperature drops temporarily, it will rise again after a while. The correct approach is to supplement children with certain nutrients and sufficient water in time. If you really need to give your child antipyretics, you must strictly follow the doctor's prescription.

After listening to the above introduction by the editor, everyone is very clear, right? In fact, fever is relatively easy to treat, and the effect is very obvious. If the fever does not go down for a long time, you must go to the hospital for treatment in time, and the effect is also very obvious.
