What to do if your baby has a fever in spring

Spring is a season that we all like very much. Spring is the season when all things grow. However, we should also realize that our body’s immunity will decline in spring, so we should do a better job of preventing some common diseases in spring. Babies are prone to fever symptoms in spring, so how should parents help their babies prevent and treat fever in spring? Below we will tell you what to do if your baby has a fever in spring.

The normal body temperature for babies is between 36.3 and 37.4. A fever between 37.5 and 38.5 is considered a low fever, and above 38.6 is considered a high fever. Even if you have a fever, it is not scary, because fever itself is a defensive reaction of the body caused by various diseases.

If your baby has a fever, he cannot just take antipyretics, but also some anti-inflammatory drugs, so that the inflammation can be eliminated and the fever will not recur.

If your baby has a cold and fever, here are some suggestions for you.

When the child has a low fever, let him/her drink plenty of water, don't wear too many clothes, don't cover himself/herself up, and take some Chinese medicine for clearing heat and detoxifying, such as Isatis root and Shuanghuanglian oral liquid. Taurine granules are effective and can relieve fever caused by colds. If he has a runny nose, give him some cold and heat-clearing granules, which also contain Chinese herbal ingredients, and add some anti-inflammatory medicine (when my son was this age, I used amoxicillin granules, which is penicillin, the anti-inflammatory medicine with the lowest side effects). Don't rush to give antipyretics when he has a low fever. Taking antipyretics too early will affect the formation of the child's natural immunity. Generally, from 4 or 5 months old, the child's immunity from the mother begins to decrease and his own immunity begins to form. If you have a fever at this time and treat it properly, it can enhance your immunity, so it’s okay.

If it reaches 38.6 or above, it is a high fever. In addition to taking the medicines mentioned above, you can give him medicine to reduce the fever. When my son was young, I used pediatric antipyretic suppositories, the kind that are pushed into the rectum through the anus. It is a local medication, with little irritation and a very good effect. It's available in pharmacies, just use it according to the instructions. 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 achieve the purpose of cooling down.

In addition, for any medicine you give to children, be sure to read the instructions carefully and don't miss any of them! After a child is three years old, the number of fevers will gradually decrease.
