How to treat baby’s fever?

Catching a cold and having a fever are the most common causes of fever for many babies, especially at the turn of summer and autumn, when the temperature difference between morning and evening is relatively large, which can easily cause the baby to catch a cold. So what should you do when your baby catches a cold and has a fever! Below I will share with you some experiences on how to treat babies’ colds and fevers. I hope it will be effective for you and I also hope your baby will recover soon.

When a baby has a fever, parents will panic and may even blame each other for not taking good care of the baby. Alas, in fact, it is inevitable for babies to have fever and colds. At this time, parents need to take good care of their babies so that they can recover quickly. At the same time, once the baby has signs of fever, you must observe carefully and take the baby's temperature every half an hour. Generally, the baby's fever develops quickly, comes quickly, and goes away quickly, so you must take the baby's temperature at any time and take appropriate measures.

If the baby has only a slight fever and the temperature does not exceed 38.5 degrees, you can undress the baby appropriately and put a fever-reducing patch on his forehead. At the same time, it is also necessary to give the baby a warm bath, which will help lower the baby's body temperature.

When a baby has a fever, he or she will sweat a lot, so he or she needs to be fed warm water frequently to replenish the body. If the baby is six months old and is breastfed, he or she can still be breastfed because breast milk is easy to digest, can meet nutritional needs, and replenish water. For artificial feeding, you can feed diluted whole milk, that is, 2 parts of milk powder plus 1 part of water (2:1). Although the baby's milk intake is reduced at this time, the water is supplemented, which is more conducive to the baby's digestion and absorption.

At the same time, it should be noted that if the above methods are not effective and the baby's temperature has exceeded 39 degrees, you should go to the hospital to see a doctor as soon as possible and take antipyretics and other medicines under the doctor's guidance. Don't give your baby any medicine on your own.

The editor reminds you that parents must pay more attention to the baby's care during the baby's fever. Usually, give the baby some boiled water. During this period, let him eat some easily digestible food. You can choose to eat some rice porridge, or drink some other food such as rice soup. The editor wishes your baby a speedy recovery.
