What to do if a nine-year-old child has a fever

As parents, you must not ignore the situation when children have a fever. If they are at home, it is best to use physical cooling methods, such as warm water to test the body. In addition, you should go to the hospital for examination in time to find out what is causing the fever. We know that there are many causes of fever, such as pneumonia and some infections. If it is just a common cold and fever, you can do corresponding health care in your life.

In summer, children have fever and high body temperature, and often feel thirsty and like cold drinks. They especially like cold drinks such as ice cream, popsicles, frozen soda, etc. However, after consuming this kind of cold drink, the child's stomach will shrink rapidly when he or she has a fever, which can easily cause the child to lose appetite, indigestion, and not eat staple food, leading to malnutrition. Therefore, cold drinks should not be given to children when they have a fever.

Children suffer from indigestion after having a fever, so they should eat light and easily digestible food, and avoid greasy food, such as fried cakes, fried pork chops, fried steamed buns, cream cakes, fatty pork, mutton, oily chicken soup, duck soup and all kinds of fried food. It is not advisable to use too much oil when stir-frying vegetables. Greasy food hinders children's digestion and often causes gastrointestinal symptoms such as loss of appetite and diarrhea.

Too sweet food can not only cause gastrointestinal dampness and heat and affect appetite, but also cause abdominal bloating and lead to indigestion, making the disease difficult to cure. This type of food includes various sweet drinks, ice cream, fruit juice, canned fruit, honey, fruit candy, chocolate, etc. In addition, you should try to put less sugar when drinking milk to avoid causing bloating and affecting digestion.

Because he is a nine-year-old child, we must pay attention to his fever. After all, if a child’s fever is not handled properly, it can easily lead to pneumonia. Therefore, on the one hand, you should actively seek treatment, and on the other hand, you should drink plenty of water during the illness, eat more fruits and vegetables rich in vitamins, do not eat too greasy food, and pay attention to light food.
