What should I do if my child has a fever and is frightened?

We all know that since children have poor physical fitness and weak resistance, they are easily susceptible to diseases, such as colds and fevers. According to the older generation, because children's eyes are clearer, they can see things that we cannot see, so they can be easily frightened. So, what should parents do if their children have a fever and are frightened?

Convulsion is a common disease in pediatrics. The incidence of convulsion in children is due to the incomplete development of children's brains and poor ability to analyze and identify stimuli. Weak stimulation can cause abnormal discharge of motor neurons in the brain and cause convulsions. Simple febrile seizures have a good long-term prognosis and have no effect on intelligence, learning, or behavior. As age increases and the brain develops, febrile convulsions generally no longer occur.

When a child has a high fever convulsion, parents should do the following:

Stay calm, keep quiet, and avoid giving your child any unnecessary stimulation. Keep the airways open. Lay the child flat with his head tilted to one side, and clean the secretions and vomit in the mouth promptly to prevent them from being inhaled into the trachea and causing suffocation or aspiration pneumonia.

If the baby is frightened, you should comfort the baby, give the baby more sense of security, and divert the baby's attention. If the fever exceeds 38.5 degrees, you should give your baby antipyretics, use physical cooling methods, give your baby plenty of water, and don't dress your baby too much or cover him or her too thickly.

There are many causes of fever in children, which can be clinically divided into infectious and non-infectious. Infectious causes are more common, such as colds. For fever, the cause must be identified first and treated accordingly. When the body temperature is too high, it is easy to cause high fever convulsions in children, so it is also necessary to control the body temperature, mainly by using drugs and physical cooling methods. Specific medications are best used under the guidance of a doctor.

What should we do if children have a fever and are frightened? In fact, for children, we should pay more attention to their physical condition. Once we find that they are unwell, we should take them to treatment in time. This also requires parents to know some common sense. The editor also hopes that all children are in good health.
