Reasons for a 17-month-old baby to have a fever

Seventeen-month-old babies are in the period of physical development, but many of their body functions are not perfect and they are prone to diseases. In addition, most young mothers today lack parenting experience, and there are many parenting issues that need to be taken seriously. Someone has asked before about the cause of a 17-month-old baby’s fever. If a 17-month-old baby’s fever is not properly treated, the consequences are very serious. Now, my editor will solve this problem for you. I hope it will be of some help to you.

1. External factors: Body temperature is affected by the external environment, such as wearing too many clothes in hot weather, drinking too little water, and poor ventilation in the room.

2. Internal factors: illness, cold, tracheitis, sore throat or other diseases.

3. Other factors: such as preventive injections, including measles, cholera, diphtheria, pertussis, tetanus and other reactions.

A baby's fever is only one of the symptoms of a disease, not all of them. Parents usually panic when they only see the appearance of the disease, such as fever, vomiting, and coughing. When doctors treat diseases, they first focus on finding the cause of the disease and the method that can completely cure it, rather than simply reducing the fever. So in some cases, the fever symptoms will continue to appear in order to explore the real cause of the disease. Therefore, parents who love their children, remember not to blindly ask the doctor to reduce the fever and treat the fever symptoms, but should follow the doctor's advice, accurately find out the real cause of the fever, and prescribe the right medicine.

If the child's temperature reaches 38.8℃, but the child is energetic and does not feel uncomfortable, there is no need for antipyretic treatment. When the child's temperature exceeds 38.3℃, but the child is listless, irritable and in pain, treatment should be given. A high fever above 39℃ can easily cause convulsions in children. Children under 6 months old should be treated in time when they have a fever because their condition changes rapidly. Infants under 3 months old should be cautious about using drugs to reduce fever, and physical methods should be used to reduce fever. Physical methods should also be used to reduce fever when the drug is not effective or the temperature exceeds 39℃ within two hours after the drug is used. It takes a certain amount of time for drugs to reduce fever to take effect. When the child's temperature suddenly exceeds 40℃, physical methods should be used to reduce fever immediately. Children's fever is mostly caused by colds, and the cause is mostly viral infection. Chinese medicine treatment has certain advantages. Such as children's cold oral liquid, children's heat-clearing and detoxification oral liquid, children's throat-clearing granules, antiviral oral liquid, Shuanghuanglian oral liquid, etc.

Through the above, I believe everyone has a certain understanding of the reasons why a 17-month-old baby has a fever. The above suggestions are for reference only. Once a 17-month-old baby has a serious fever, it is recommended that parents go to the hospital for medical diagnosis in time. Children's body functions are not yet fully developed, and parents need to pay great attention to their physical health. Below, the editor will continue to solve some of the questions that everyone is interested in. I hope you will support us!
