Fever in children and its treatment

The editor would like to introduce to you the fever and treatment measures for young children. We say that fever in young children can be serious or minor, but in many cases, fever is not good for children. So the editor would like to tell you what parents can do for their children when they have a fever and vomit. We don’t want our children to have physical problems, so let’s take a closer look at it together!

1. Definition: A body temperature higher than the following temperatures is called a fever. Rectal temperature: 38℃ Oral temperature: 37.8℃ (ear temperature is the same as oral temperature) Axillary temperature: 37.5℃ Back temperature: 37.5℃

2. There are many causes of fever in children. Upper respiratory tract infection, gastroenteritis, tonsillitis, pneumonia and all infectious diseases may cause fever symptoms. In addition, babies under one year old may also develop fever due to urinary tract infections, gastrointestinal diseases, and hand, foot and mouth disease. In many cases, a doctor must be consulted to find out the real cause of the fever.

3. As long as the child is not in a bad mood when having a fever and the temperature does not exceed 38.5℃, parents can also handle it themselves.

4. There is a pattern when a child has a fever: if the child's hands and feet are cold, the face is pale, and there is no sweat, it means that the child's body temperature will continue to rise; if the child's hands and feet become warm and sweat occurs, it means that the body temperature will not rise any further. There are several ways parents can deal with their children's fever:

1. For infants under one and a half years old, the anterior fontanelle has not yet completely closed. Parents can cover the child's anterior fontanelle with the palm of their hand after the child falls asleep, and continue covering until the child's head sweats slightly. It is best for the child's father to do this, as men have high temperatures and babies are prone to sweating. When I looked at the baby again at this time, his nose was unblocked, his breathing was steady, and his temperature had dropped. At this time, parents can wake up the baby and feed him more warm water or brown sugar water, and the baby will soon recover.

2. Most children's fever is caused by colds. When they have a fever, their hands and feet are cold, their tongue coating is white, their face is pale, and their urine is light in color. Parents can use ginger and brown sugar water to dispel the cold for their children, and the effect is good. If 2 to 3 pieces of green onion cut into one-inch long are added to the ginger and brown sugar water, the effect will be better. If the child is afraid of spicy food, you can add two slices of ginger, two pieces of green onion, and a few drops of vinegar to the porridge for the child. After cooking, remove the ginger and green onion and feed it to the child. It can dispel cold, induce sweating, and reduce fever. The effect is good, and children are willing to eat it. Parents can feed their children 2 to 3 times a day. Do not add onions after the child's fever subsides. Ginger can also be omitted when the tongue coating is no longer white.

This is the end of the introduction to children's fever and treatment measures! In fact, we all know that the health of children at this time is the most important, which affects the future health of children, so we must pay attention to more details. So I will introduce so much to you here! I hope it can help you and I hope your children are healthy!
