What medicine should I take when my baby has a fever?

Because babies' immune systems are not fully developed, they are very likely to get angry and have a fever. However, babies are too young to take random medicines, and parents don't know what to do. Many parents get very anxious every time they try to treat their babies' fever. So, what should we do if our baby has a fever? What medicine should my baby take if he has a fever? Let’s find out through the following content!

Babies have a different physique from adults. They have an active metabolism and grow and develop rapidly. Traditional Chinese medicine calls this a "pure yang body." Under normal conditions, a dynamic balance is maintained. Once this balance is broken by external factors, it can easily lead to internal heat.

Breastfeeding: It is best to breastfeed the baby after birth and ensure sufficient breast milk supply, because breast milk is the most ideal food for babies. The concentration of oligosaccharides in breast milk is very high, reaching 8-12g/liter or more, and there are more than 130 kinds of oligosaccharides, especially galacto-oligosaccharides, followed by oligofructose. They exist in the intestine in the form of short-chain sugars, which can quickly increase the reproduction of beneficial bacteria in the intestine and will not make the baby get angry.

When you find that your child has a fever, the first thing you should do is use a thermometer to measure the temperature. If the child's temperature is >38.5, use Tylenol or ibuprofen. If you have a recurring fever, you can use a rotation method: use one method first, and if you still have a fever after 6 hours, switch to another method. At the same time, use physical cooling methods such as cooling patches, alcohol wipes, warm and wet towels, etc. to lower body temperature. Give your child more milk or water to make him urinate more. If your child looks pale, has rapid breathing, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, convulsions or other symptoms, please go to the hospital immediately for medical treatment.

After reading the above, I believe you already know what medicine to take for your baby to have a fever! When your baby has a fever, do not use medicine indiscriminately. Pay attention to the baby's condition. If the condition develops in a bad direction, be sure to send the baby to the hospital for treatment in time. Normally, let the baby drink more water. If the baby is in the lactation period, it is best for the mother not to eat food that is easy to cause inflammation.
