What to do if a one-year-old child has a fever

Now many families have only one child, so children are very important in our hearts. They are the sweethearts of their parents, grandparents, and grandparents. If the sweetheart catches a cold and has a fever at this time, then we adults will be very worried and will not be able to work well. So what should we do if a one-year-old child suddenly has a fever? Let us introduce the treatment methods for fever in one-year-old children:

First, we need to confirm a few questions: 1. What is the fever of the baby? If it is above 39.5 degrees, don't look down and send it directly to the hospital. If it is below, you can treat it at home; 2. Is the baby having a recurring fever or is it just this time? If it is a recurring fever, send it to the hospital

Generally, when the temperature does not exceed 39 degrees, the baby can be treated with physical cooling methods at home.

1. Use warm water to wipe the palms and soles of the baby's feet, as well as the arteries of the neck and thighs. You can also apply a fever-reducing patch. The warm water should not exceed the baby's body temperature, nor be too low. It is best to keep it about the same as the baby's body temperature.

2. Feed your baby plenty of water, don't cover him with too many quilts, keep the indoor air fresh, and wipe off his sweat more often. This will help him excrete toxins. During this stage, you should feed your baby liquid or semi-liquid food.

Things to note when going to the hospital:

1. When you take your baby to the hospital for medical treatment, try to go to a regular hospital instead of a small clinic;

2. It is especially important to note that it is best not to take antibiotics for babies, as they are prone to producing antibodies and are not good for babies.

If your baby suddenly has a high fever for unknown reasons, you should pay attention to whether your baby has roseola infantum. The symptoms are generally: a pink rash on the body. If the fever is gone after 2-3 days and a rose-colored maculopapular rash appears on the body, it is best to go to the hospital for a more comprehensive examination. It is best to have some Chinese patent medicine at home. I have some at home: fever-reducing patches, honeysuckle, Motrin and so on.

Children are treasures, but if they are sick, they still need timely treatment. Don't worry blindly. Worrying will not do any good to children. We adults must first remain calm when facing things. Otherwise, we will just choose the wrong method of treatment for the child in a state of worry, which will have a great impact on the child. When the child's temperature does not reach 38.5 degrees, we as parents must pay attention and treat the child with physical cooling methods at this time.
