Should children wear more or less when they have a fever?

Parents are not unfamiliar with children's fever, because fever is often caused by children catching a cold. If necessary, some physical cooling methods can be used to solve the problem. If the child's body temperature still cannot be lowered after using the above methods, he should go to the hospital for treatment in time, otherwise it will be very dangerous. So, should children wear more or less clothes when they have a fever?

When a child has a fever, he or she must not be dressed too much and must not be covered. Let your child drink more warm water and eat liquid foods such as watermelon juice and other favorite fruit juices to ensure that the body has enough energy and water.

Drinking water helps to sweat and dissipate heat, lower body temperature and replenish the water lost by the child's body.

Ventilate more, pay attention to heat dissipation, wear loose clothes, and avoid wrapping yourself with a quilt. You can use air conditioning in the summer and control the room temperature at around 27℃. Remember to open windows regularly to allow air convection in the room.

Getting more sleep and ensuring adequate sleep can help you recover from the illness.

One-year-old baby has repeated fever

The one-year-old baby has repeated fevers, which makes his parents very worried. But in fact, fever is a symptom, not a disease. A child's fever is usually caused by a viral or bacterial infection, such as measles or influenza, and it is a defense mechanism to help the child suppress the infection. However, children will not have a fever for no reason, so parents must find out the cause of the fever so that they can prescribe the right medicine and cooperate with the doctor's treatment.

1. Pay attention to your child’s mental state. If the child has a high fever but is in good spirits, and can still laugh and play after taking medicine to reduce the fever, and is almost the same as usual, it means that the child's condition is not serious and he or she can be rest assured to recuperate at home. If the child is listless, tired, and has a dull expression, it indicates that the child is seriously ill and should be taken to the hospital immediately.

2. Observe the child’s complexion. If the child's complexion is normal or flushed, you can rest assured to take care of him at home; if his complexion is dull, yellow, blue, or purple, and his eyes are dull, it means that the condition is serious and he should be sent to the hospital.

3. Observe whether the child has severe, projectile vomiting. If so, it indicates a brain disease, and the child should go to the hospital.

4. Check whether there is any rash on the skin. If there is, it indicates an infectious disease or drug allergy. Check whether the skin is purple or cool. If there is, it indicates circulatory failure. In both cases, you need to go to the hospital again.

5. Observe whether the child has abdominal pain and bloody stools. Abdominal pain that does not allow massage indicates acute abdomen, and bloody stools indicate dysentery, etc., and you must go to the hospital.
