How to take care of your baby's fever in summer

It is hot in summer and bacteria are active, so babies are easily attacked, causing symptoms of cold and fever. In addition, the high temperature, poor appetite and sleep of the baby will affect the body's resistance. Some babies are restless when sleeping and like to kick off the quilt, which makes them easily catch a cold. In summer, if your baby's fever is below 38.5℃, you can open the baby's clothes and wipe the armpits, groin and other areas with rich blood vessels with warm water to help cool down. Do not use alcohol to wipe the baby's body. First, it is very irritating, and second, it may cause alcohol poisoning in the baby. Parents must pay attention to replenishing water and nutrition for babies with fever. If the baby's fever is above 39℃, please go to the hospital for treatment in time.

How to care for a baby with a fever in summer:

1. As long as the child does not want to eat and is too lazy to move, you should suspect whether he has a fever and measure his temperature with a thermometer. Once he has a fever, you should pay attention and find out the cause in time. Clinically, if a baby suddenly has a high fever in summer, special attention should be paid to the occurrence of infectious diseases and the baby should be taken to the hospital for diagnosis in time.

2.3 If the temperature is below 8.5℃, no fever reduction treatment is required. Undress the child, take off the blanket, and wipe the child's body with warm water to dissipate heat. If you have a high fever (above 39°C), you should reduce the fever under the guidance of a doctor.

When a child has a fever, parents should not rush to give him medicine. Medication is not suitable for babies, and physical cooling will cause less harm to the body. Older children can take appropriate medication when they have a fever. When your baby has a fever, you should check his body temperature at any time and carefully observe whether he has severe cough, persistent high fever, convulsions, etc. At this time, physical cooling is no longer effective and the baby should be sent to the hospital for treatment immediately.
