What to do if a child has a fever in winter

Babies have low resistance. In winter, when the weather is cold or the temperature difference between indoors and outdoors is large, it is easy for children to catch a cold and develop fever symptoms. Parents are most worried about their children getting sick, and it is more common for children to have a fever in winter. Therefore, parents must learn to handle it correctly. So, what should we do if children have a fever in winter? Let’s take a closer look below.

When the baby has a fever, the body's metabolism speeds up, the consumption of nutrients will greatly increase, and the water in the body will also be significantly consumed. At the same time, due to fever, the secretion of digestive juice in the baby's body will decrease, gastrointestinal motility will slow down, and the digestive function will be significantly weakened. Therefore, parents must pay attention to the baby's diet when he has a fever. High-calorie, high-vitamin liquid or semi-liquid food is the best choice. In addition, babies should eat small meals frequently, and it is best for them to eat 6 to 7 times a day.

1. Rice soup: Boil the rice until it is soft, remove the residue, and add a little sugar for seasoning. Rice soup is rich in water and easy to digest and absorb.

2. Mung bean soup: Boil the mung beans, take the mung bean soup and add appropriate amount of rock sugar. Mung beans have the effects of clearing heat and detoxifying. They can not only supplement nutrition, but also help the baby to excrete toxins from the body and can help the baby reduce fever.

3. Egg custard: Beat 1 to 2 eggs, add appropriate amount of warm water, steam it and let your baby eat it. Egg custard can supplement protein and is easier to digest and absorb.

4. Fresh pear juice: Fresh pear juice has the effects of clearing heat, moistening the lungs and relieving cough. It is suitable for babies with fever and cough.

5. Fresh apple juice: Apple juice contains a lot of vitamin C, which can not only supplement the baby's nutritional needs, but also neutralize toxins in the baby's body.

6. Honeysuckle tea: 10 grams of honeysuckle, boil in water and add sugar to drink.

If your baby has a poor appetite due to fever, do not force him to eat, but try to replenish his water. When your baby has a fever, do not give him or her any food that he or she has not eaten before, so as to avoid diarrhea.

The above is an introduction on what to do if a child has a fever in winter. I hope it will be helpful to parents. When a child has a fever, do not simply use a cold towel to reduce the fever. The correct approach is to actively find the cause of the child's fever. Only when the primary disease is cured will the symptoms of fever naturally disappear. If you cannot handle it yourself, it is best to send the child to a doctor for diagnosis and treatment to avoid delaying the disease.
