Can children bask in the sun when they have a fever?

There are many reasons why children have a fever. Sometimes a cold can cause a fever, and sometimes it is a disease such as pneumonia that causes a fever. In short, as parents, we must pay attention to our children's fever in time and not relax at all. Because if the fever is very high, it is likely to burn the child's brain and affect the child's growth. So, can children bask in the sun when they have a fever?

You can bask in the sun, which helps improve your immunity.

For infectious fever, fever itself is one of the manifestations of the body's immune system clearing the source of infection. Unless the fever is high and the patient is seriously unwell or strongly requests it, there is usually no need to rush to use antipyretics and other drugs. However, the patient must be informed and his or her understanding must be obtained. Patients with high fever must be cooled down.

Additional information:

Patients with fever need to rest in bed, drink plenty of fluids, and be given light, easily digestible food.

Sunbathing can also enhance the body's immune function and increase the activity of phagocytes. The ultraviolet rays in sunlight have strong bactericidal ability. Generally, bacteria and certain viruses will be killed after being exposed to sunlight for half an hour or several hours.

Sunlight also plays a certain role in regulating the human body's life rhythm and psychology. Sunbathing can promote blood circulation, enhance metabolism, and regulate the central nervous system, making the body feel relaxed and comfortable.

Ensure nutrition

Children are in the growth and development stage, their metabolism is vigorous, and their energy and nutrient requirements are relatively higher than those of adults.

Only by meeting the nutritional needs of children can we ensure their normal physical and intellectual development and form good physical fitness. A reasonable diet should not only pay attention to the dietary structure, and achieve a combination of staple and non-staple foods, coarse and fine grains, and meat and vegetables, but also cultivate children's good eating habits, eat at regular times and in fixed quantities, not be picky eaters, and try to eat less snacks, especially sugary snacks and cold drinks. Although candy can increase children's fun and provide some calories, eating too much can suppress appetite and is not good for children's health.

Emphasis on exercise

Physical exercise can promote children's growth and development, improve their ability to adapt to the natural environment and enhance their resistance, reduce diseases and maintain health. The methods of physical exercise vary according to the age of the child. It can be carried out in combination with daily life using air, sunlight and water, or through games and sports. Children should be dressed appropriately from birth and not too warmly. The room temperature should be appropriate, and the room temperature does not need to be too high in winter. Frequent ventilation should be carried out to keep the air fresh. Children should be trained to gradually live in a colder environment. Outdoor activities can allow them to breathe fresh air, so that the skin can be exposed to ultraviolet rays in the sun, increase the synthesis of vitamin D in the body, which is beneficial to bone growth and prevent the occurrence of rickets. Children's outdoor activity time in summer should be maintained at more than 2 hours a day. Some time should also be arranged for outdoor activities in winter.
