What causes fever and joint pain in children?

Since children have relatively low immunity in their lives, they always have fever and colds, which attracts the attention of their parents. Parents are very worried that their children will develop pneumonia or even more serious diseases due to the symptoms of fever and colds. Let me introduce that children’s fever, joint pain, pain and itching are very uncomfortable. What should we do?

When your child has a high fever, use the following physical fever-reducing methods to make your child feel more comfortable:

1. Reduce clothing and quilts: When your child has a fever, remember not to let him wear too many clothes or cover him with too thick quilts. This traditional method of "covering the body to sweat" is not conducive to heat dissipation and fever reduction. Instead, it may cause febrile convulsions due to overheating. For many young babies, the body temperature can be lowered by simply reducing the number of clothes and blankets.

2. Drink more water: It helps to sweat and dissipate heat. In addition, water has the function of regulating temperature, which can lower body temperature and replenish the water lost by the body.

3. Cold compress: This method is simple and easy. Apply a cold towel to the forehead. After the towel becomes hot, soak it in cold water and apply it again. For older children, using cold water bags or ice bags may be more effective.

4. Wipe the whole body with warm water or take a bath: Undress the child, rub the whole body with a towel in warm water (about 37°C) or take a bath. This can dilate the blood vessels in the skin and increase heat dissipation; in addition, when water evaporates from the body surface, some heat will also be lost.

5. Low-temperature chamber method: Place the sick child in an environment with a room temperature of about 26°C to slowly lower the body temperature. In order to allow the skin to come into contact with the outside air and help cool down, people need to wear less clothes. If conditions permit, use air conditioning to lower the room temperature. This method is suitable for babies under 1 month old, especially in summer. Just open the baby's clothes and put it in a cool place.

In the article, we learned about children's fever and joint pain. In fact, because everyone's physical condition is different, we must choose some methods to actively treat it. In fact, children's immunity is relatively low, and they are more likely to suffer from joint diseases.
