What should I do if my child has a fever and talks nonsense?

Children's fever is generally not very serious, and their body temperature is mostly maintained at around 38 degrees. At this time, parents can use some physical cooling methods to help the baby relieve the discomfort caused by the fever. However, some children may have a body temperature as high as 40 degrees when they have a fever because of their weak physical constitution, which makes their parents very worried. So, what should we do if our child has a fever and talks nonsense?

In fact, children generally do not talk nonsense when they have a fever. If you find that a child is talking nonsense when he has a fever, it is usually when the child has a high fever. The high fever we refer to is a body temperature over 39 degrees. If the high fever is not treated in time, it is easy to burn the child's brain. So if the child has a high fever, you can first wipe the child's whole body carefully with warm water until the child's skin turns red. In addition, let the child drink more water and detoxify more to see if the fever can be reduced. However, if the high fever has no signs of reducing the fever, you must take the child to the hospital for treatment immediately to avoid missing the best treatment time and causing serious adverse consequences.

Complications that may occur when a child has a fever

1. Children's fever can easily cause dehydration. When a child has a high fever, the loss of water in the body accelerates, and taking antipyretics will also cause the child to sweat profusely. If water is not replenished in time, dehydration is likely to occur. Dehydration can cause harm to the body. Not only will it make it more difficult to reduce fever, it will also hinder blood circulation and metabolism. In severe cases, it can cause children to experience symptoms such as acidosis and hyponatremia.

2. Some children may suffer from convulsions or even high fever convulsions. When the child's body temperature suddenly rises, convulsions are likely to occur. Generally, one convulsion will occur for each fever. As long as the convulsion does not last long and is handled properly, it will not have much impact on the child's health.

3. Cerebral edema. Generally speaking, a child's fever can enhance their immunity and has little effect on their body tissues and organs. However, in severe cases, cerebral edema, sequelae of encephalopathy and even death may occur.
