How to deal with an eight-year-old child with a persistent fever?

A child is a treasure in the family, and his health concerns the whole family. Children in early childhood are very prone to fever due to their weak resistance. Therefore, adults are very concerned about the problem of an eight-year-old child having a persistent fever. Doctors suggest that adults should not be too anxious about low-grade fever in general, as the child's body can resist the disease. Drugs can only be used to control the fever if it persists. Below is a detailed explanation of how to deal with an eight-year-old child with a persistent fever.

First of all, we need to check his body temperature. We should buy a thermometer and keep it at home as a backup. An ordinary one only costs two dollars. There are also some electronic rapid temperature measurement devices on the market, but they are expensive. We can just use the ordinary one. The test time is generally only 5 minutes. If the body temperature is around 38 degrees, physical therapy or some Chinese herbal medicine can be used for treatment. If it exceeds 39 degrees, you should see a doctor in time. Take medicine if possible. If not, get a fever-reducing injection. Only use intravenous drip when it is absolutely necessary. The needle hanging has a great impact on children.

What are our physical therapy methods? I believe everyone is already familiar with them, such as drinking more boiled water, taking warm baths, applying diluted alcohol, and applying antipyretic patches. These are all physical methods to help remove heat.

For the Chinese herbal medicine treatment method, I have used Children's Paracetamol and Phenylacetamine Granules and Yinhuang Granules. My child was not even one year old at that time. I sweated a lot after eating it and it worked.

My child was only eight or nine months old at the time. How much dosage should I use? The instructions only stated that it was for children over one year old. I asked the doctor and he said: Use one third of Yinhuang Granules and one quarter of Children's Paracetamol and Phenylephrine Granules. Three times a day.

Also, if you have to give the child an IV drip as a last resort, if the fever has subsided, the doctor will suggest another IV drip. It depends on the situation. If the child is in good condition, then it is not necessary. Just ask the doctor to prescribe some medicine for the child to take.

Boiled water is the best medicine. Children should drink more boiled water and less other beverages. Drink some water in the morning to detoxify.

From the above introduction, it can be seen that boiled water is the best medicine for children's fever. There is no need to treat low fever with infusion, injection, medication, etc. under any circumstances. Generally, children with low fever can recover on their own. Of course, when an eight-year-old child has a persistent fever, because the child is young, he may not be able to describe his condition carefully, so everyone's concern is essential. As long as you pay attention to your child at all times and follow the doctor's instructions, the child's fever can be cured quickly.
