The child has a fever and is in a good mental state. Does that mean he will recover soon?

Generally, children are not in good spirits after having a fever, their eyes are dull, and they become even more drowsy after taking medicine. But if the child starts to become energetic, it means that the child's fever has improved and he will soon recover. A child's fever is a headache for every parent, but it is unavoidable. Therefore, when a child has a fever, you must first cool him down physically and then send him to the doctor. If the condition is serious, go to the doctor directly.

When you have a cold and fever, the secretion of digestive juices decreases, the activity of digestive enzymes decreases, gastrointestinal motility slows down, and digestive function is abnormal, which often manifests as a decrease in appetite. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that "sweetness can damage the spleen". If children are allowed to eat too much sweets, a large amount of vitamins may be consumed in the body. When the human body lacks these vitamins, the saliva in the mouth will decrease, and the appetite will become worse. Especially before meals, if you eat too much sugar, it will cause your blood sugar to rise, which will make the child lose his sense of hunger and be unwilling to eat at mealtime.

Eating too much sweets can also reduce immunity. A large amount of sweets are rich in sucrose, fructose and other ingredients. When the blood sugar level in the human body exceeds a certain level, the following two situations will occur: First, it will promote the growth and reproduction of pyogenic bacteria such as Staphylococcus aureus, causing skin infections such as boils; second, when sugar decomposes in the body to produce heat, it will produce a large amount of acidic metabolites such as pyruvic acid and lactic acid, making the body acidic. An acidic constitution is not only prone to infection, but can also cause other childhood diseases, such as rickets, beriberi, chronic indigestion, bad temper, etc. Severe cases can also cause immune system diseases.

When children have a cold or fever, they must rest more. It is best to lie down and rest after taking medicine so that they can recover faster. It is very important to drink plenty of water. Drinking plenty of water can help promote the body's metabolism and the fever will heal faster. In terms of diet, it is best to eat something liquid and easy to digest, such as porridge, but the nutrition must also be maintained.
