What should I do if my child has a fever after eating eel?

If your baby is usually lively but suddenly becomes quiet in the last two days, he will not be very happy no matter if you buy his favorite food or his favorite toy. Parents need to pay attention at this time, because it may be that the baby has some disease and needs to be checked and treated. So the question is, what should we do if a child has a fever after eating eel?

Rice field eel has a high protein content and provides nutrients to the body, but it is digested relatively slowly. Children with fever may have weak gastrointestinal function, and eating rice field eel may increase the burden on the gastrointestinal tract. It is recommended that if a child has poor gastrointestinal function after having a fever, he or she should eat less eels and be given soft and rotten food that is easy to digest, such as porridge and fermented pasta. The body temperature should be measured, and excessively high temperatures require physical cooling or drug cooling treatment.

Children's fever: The normal armpit temperature is 36-37 degrees. Children are in the developmental stage and their metabolism is vigorous, so their body temperature is higher than that of adults. However, your child's body temperature needs medication. In addition to antiviral and antibacterial drug treatment, the body temperature must be controlled. In theory, the child's body temperature should be higher than 38.3 degrees before medication is used, but clinically, children are generally given medication when the temperature exceeds 38 degrees.

You can use compound preparations containing ibuprofen or nimesulide to reduce fever. At the same time, prepare a box of pediatric antipyretic suppositories for anal use before going to bed to prevent high fever convulsions caused by the child's body temperature rising at night.

At the same time, let the child drink more water (you can add some salt to the water, or go to the hospital to buy children's rehydration salts), and use cefixime as the antibiotic; if the child has severe diarrhea and severe dehydration, he must go to the hospital for infusion, because dehydration can cause electrolyte imbalance, and severe shock may occur. Be sure to observe the child's body temperature, once every half an hour is not too much.

Prevention of fever in children

1. Prevention:

1) Strengthen exercise and engage in more outdoor activities to improve immunity. If necessary, use some immunity-enhancing drugs under the guidance of a doctor.

2) When the climate changes, add or remove clothes in time to prevent overcooling or overheating.

3) During the epidemic, avoid taking children to crowded public places to reduce the chance of infection.

4) Open windows frequently to let in fresh air. Clothes should be cool and breathable, and avoid covering yourself with a blanket to cause sweat.

5) Receive preventive injections in time to reduce the occurrence of infectious diseases.

2. Other matters needing attention:

1) High fever can easily lead to dehydration, and taking antipyretics and sweating profusely will cause the body to lose more water. Dehydration not only makes it difficult to reduce fever, but also affects metabolism and blood circulation, causing acidosis, etc. Therefore, children must be encouraged to drink more water. At the same time, the sodium concentration in the blood increases, and the blood becomes hyperosmotic. The child may experience dry mouth, thirst, irritability, or even nonsense or cramps. The fever will not only not subside but will become higher. Hyponatremia may occur, which is more common in infants and young children who are usually malnourished.

2) Some children may experience convulsions or even high fever convulsions. Cramps often occur when a high fever suddenly occurs. Cramps only occur once per fever and rarely more than twice. As long as the convulsions do not last long and are handled properly, they will not have much impact on the child's health.
