What should I do if my child has a fever every night?

Everyone knows that children have weaker resistance and may get a fever if they are not careful. Therefore, it is very necessary for parents to master some emergency methods, especially for children who are more likely to have a fever at night, and they must be resolved in a timely manner. So what kind of relief methods can generally be used? Let me tell you the answer below.

After a child has a fever, the condition can easily worsen at night. Parents must monitor the baby's body temperature in real time. Generally, it is necessary to measure it every hour. Mercury thermometers or electronic thermometers can be used. When a child has a fever, what parents should do is to record the child's body temperature at any time and observe the temperature changes. If the child's temperature exceeds 38.5 degrees, then the child needs to be sent to the doctor in time and there should be no delay. If the child's temperature does not exceed 38.5 degrees, parents can provide proper care at home and allow the child to use his or her own immune response to cope with the disease.

When children have a fever, you must help them dissipate heat in time, such as unbuttoning their collars and wiping their palms, soles of their feet, armpits and other parts with alcohol cotton balls or warm water. You can also wipe the whole body with warm water. Or you can use a cooling patch on your child's forehead to quickly lower the body temperature. The cool touch can also effectively calm your child's restless emotions and help him fall asleep. At the same time, parents should pay attention to replenishing their children with water in time. The process of fever and fever reduction consumes a lot of water. At this time, parents should give their children more warm water. Also, be careful not to shake the baby. Many parents pick up their children and rock them while coaxing them. In fact, this practice is wrong. When a child has a fever, he must lie flat to let the baby rest well and maintain physical strength.

This article describes in great detail how to help children reduce fever. I believe parents will find it clear after reading it, which will make it easier to deal with children's fever at night in a scientific and effective manner. However, the editor would like to remind you that if you often have a fever at night, you must go to the hospital for a detailed examination to find the inducing factors.
