What should I do if my child has a sore throat and fever?

Children will have various minor illnesses when they are young. One of them is a common disease among children. This disease often occurs frequently in winter. What is this disease? I believe many people have guessed it. That's right! It's a cold and fever! What should I do if my child has a sore throat and fever? Just cool it down! That's right, cool it down! Applying ice cubes on the child's forehead can quickly cool the child down! After the child cools down, you should keep measuring his body temperature!

If you find your child's temperature is a little high, don't rush to reduce the fever, take your baby to the hospital, or ask the doctor to give you a fever-reducing injection!

The baby's temperature seems a little high, and it looks like the baby has a fever! When a child has a fever, as long as he is in good spirits and active, he does not need to be sent to the doctor immediately. Parents only need to take the baby's temperature at any time and observe the temperature changes. Then see your pediatrician for a checkup and treatment of the cause of the fever, cough, runny nose, diarrhea, or vomiting.

When the body temperature is greater than 38°C (rectal temperature, ear temperature), it is called a fever. It is a normal physiological reaction of the human body and also a warning signal from the body, reminding us that "the baby may be sick."

Many parents mistakenly believe that fever is harmful and that a fever that lasts too long may damage the baby's brain. But generally speaking, a fever below 41°C will not cause direct damage to the brain nerve tissue, so there is no need to be overly nervous.

There is a saying among the people that "burned the brain". In fact, burned brain is not simply caused by fever, but because the baby suffers from diseases such as encephalitis and meningitis. Generally speaking, fever is just a symptom of these diseases, and what really affects the brain is a serious brain infection.

Fever is a warning sign that children are sick, and it is also an automatic response of the body to improve resistance. The key to treating fever is to first explore what disease is causing it, and then treat it, rather than immediately reducing the fever to normal body temperature. Although appropriate antipyretics can alleviate the discomfort of fever and illness, it cannot shorten the course of the disease. Mild fever can enhance the effectiveness of the immune system. Therefore, fever is not entirely a bad thing!

What should I do if my child has a sore throat and fever? What about the sore throat after the fever is gone? Let's do it coldly! To reduce the fever of the child, cook a bowl of rock sugar and snow pear soup for the child, and the child's throat will be much better! Or make a bowl of heat-clearing chrysanthemum tea, and the child will be lively and energetic the next day! Otherwise, cook a bowl of red dates and ginger tea. These soups are delicious, so children will not refuse them. They will drink them willingly, and the disease will definitely get better quickly!
