What to do if your baby has a fever in summer

What should you do if your baby has a fever, especially in summer, many new mothers don’t know what to do. Let me talk to you about this. What should you do if your baby has a fever in summer? First, you need to cool down your baby physically, let him drink plenty of water, and go to the hospital when necessary. The best way to cool down is cold water. A baby’s fever is a very normal phenomenon. Experts believe that sometimes children don’t even need to take medicine when they have a fever. In case of high fever, you should reduce the fever under the doctor’s advice.

1. Babies are prone to fever in summer, so parents must not take it lightly. Because the weather is very hot, many children often sweat and their faces are red. Don't think it's all caused by the heat.

2. As long as the child does not want to eat and is too lazy to move, you should suspect whether he has a fever and measure his temperature with a thermometer. Once he has a fever, you should pay attention and find out the cause in time. Clinically, if a baby suddenly has a high fever in summer, special attention should be paid to the occurrence of infectious diseases and the baby should be taken to the hospital for diagnosis in time.

3.3 If the temperature is below 8.5℃, no fever reduction treatment is required. Undress the child, take off the blanket, and wipe the child's body with warm water to dissipate heat. If you have a high fever (above 39°C), you should reduce the fever under the guidance of a doctor.

4. When you have a cold, you should not wear more clothes and sweat to lower your body temperature like adults do.

In fact, fever is a defensive reaction of the body, which is beneficial for eliminating invading germs and promoting the normal growth and development of children. Experts believe that if the baby's fever is below 38.5℃, there is no need for antipyretic treatment. Physical cooling should be used, such as undressing, removing blankets, and wiping the child's body with warm water to dissipate heat. Never use alcohol to wipe children's bodies, as alcohol can easily cause blood vessels to dilate, blood volume to drop, and cause shock.

As mentioned above, I hope to give mothers a reference. It is normal for babies to have fever. Fever is a defensive manifestation and there is no need to panic. If the temperature is below 38 degrees, just cool down physically, remove the quilt and keep the air in the room flowing. Children are different from adults and do not need to wear too many clothes. At this time, you need to unbutton your clothes to dissipate heat. To know whether your baby has a fever, you can use a thermometer.
