What are the causes of night fever in children?

Children are particularly prone to fever at night. Parents must pay attention to it to avoid causing serious harm to their children due to inadequate care. The following content will introduce in detail the reasons for children's night fever for many parents. For many parents, in order to ensure that their children's fever at night will not cause harm to the body, it is best to understand it as soon as possible.

When a child has a fever, physical cooling should be the main approach. Keep the air circulating in the home and maintain the room temperature between 25℃ and 27℃. In addition, you can give the baby a warm bath, that is, undress the baby and rub the whole body with a warm (37℃) towel. Give the baby plenty of water. If the baby's body temperature (rectal temperature or ear temperature) exceeds 38.5℃, you can use antipyretic solutions or suppositories appropriately.

1. Maintain air circulation in the home: If the home has air conditioning, maintain the room temperature between 25℃-27℃. You can place your baby in an air-conditioned room or use an electric fan to blow around him to slowly lower his body temperature and make him feel more comfortable. But if the limbs are cold and the patient is shivering violently, it means that the patient needs warmth, so he should be covered with a blanket. But parents must remember that they must not let their babies face the air conditioner or electric fan to cool down.

2. Take off too many clothes: If the baby's limbs and hands and feet are warm and the whole body is sweating, it means that the baby needs to dissipate heat, so he can wear fewer clothes.

3. Warm water bath: Undress the baby and rub the whole body with a warm water (37℃) towel. This will dilate the blood vessels in the baby's skin and release body qi. In addition, when water vapor evaporates from the body surface, it will also absorb body heat.

4. Use a cooling patch: It helps dissipate heat, but it is not recommended for younger babies because it is difficult for babies to turn their bodies, and an ice pillow can easily cause local overcooling or hypothermia. You can also use a cooling patch. When the water in the gelatinous substance of the cooling patch evaporates, it can take away the heat and will not cause excessive cooling.

5. Drink more water: Let your baby drink more water to help sweating and prevent dehydration. Water has the function of regulating temperature, which can lower body temperature and replenish water lost in the baby's body.

6. Use antipyretics: When the baby's core temperature (rectal temperature or ear temperature) exceeds 38.5℃, you can use antipyretic solutions or suppositories appropriately.
