How many days will it take for a child to recover from the flu fever?

To put it simply, influenza is the common cold, which is more easily contagious than the common cold and has a certain range of infection. For example, if an employee in the company has the flu, there is a high chance that colleagues who come into contact with him will be infected. For children, we should also pay attention to preventing such diseases in daily life. So, how many days does it take for a child to recover from the flu fever?

It will get better in about 3-5 days.

Influenza has an acute onset and severe systemic symptoms, with high fever, headache, fatigue, and body aches being obvious, and body temperature can reach 39-40 degrees Celsius.

It usually lasts for 2-3 days before subsiding, but sometimes a high fever or a persistent fever may last up to 5 days.

If the disease lasts for more than 3-5 days with no signs of improvement, you must seek medical attention promptly. Prolonged high fever can be a sign of worsening infection or even secondary immune-related diseases.

How to reduce fever in children with influenza

Use water temperature of about 37 degrees to give your child a warm bath to dilate blood vessels and help the child dissipate heat.

Don't let your child wear too many clothes; they should wear loose and comfortable clothes.

If the child sweats, he/she should change into dry clothes in time. Do not let the child continue to wear clothes that are wet with sweat or are not breathable, as this will not dissipate heat well and will cause the fever to recur.

It should be noted that, generally, antipyretics are only considered when the body temperature exceeds 38.5℃.

After taking the medicine, let the child drink more warm water to facilitate drug absorption and excretion and reduce drug toxicity.
