Causes and treatment of vomiting and fever in children

Having a baby will make every family happy, but here comes the important question. The baby's health is very important. Babies often suffer from vomiting and fever. What is the reason? Some people say that the fever is caused by vomiting. It is because of the problem of milk supply, so is there really a problem in this regard? The baby's health is related to the happiness of the family. Therefore, we must pay great attention to what causes vomiting and fever in young children. The following is a brief introduction I give to you.

The normal basal body temperature of children is 36.9℃~37.5℃. Generally, when the body temperature exceeds the basal body temperature by more than 1°C, it is considered a fever. Among them, low fever refers to body temperature fluctuating around 38°C, and high fever refers to body temperature above 39°C. Continuous fever for more than two weeks is called long-term fever.

The above-mentioned basal body temperature refers to the rectal temperature, which is measured from the anus. Generally, the oral temperature is 0.3℃~0.5℃ lower than it, and the armpit and neck temperature is 0.3℃~0.5℃ lower than the oral temperature.

My principle is that if the temperature is below 38.5 degrees, do not take antipyretics or fever-reducing injections, and let the baby drink more water. Pay attention to whether the ambient temperature is too high. In the hot summer, the temperature is very high and the baby's ability to regulate its own body temperature is poor. When the mother holds the baby, the heat is not easy to dissipate, causing the body temperature to rise. However, this kind of fever usually does not last too long. Put the child in a cool place, fan him slightly, give him some cool fruit juice, or give him a warm bath, and the body temperature will return to normal after a few hours. In winter, if the indoor temperature is too high and the baby is wrapped too much, the baby's body temperature will also rise.

If the fever is above 38.5 degrees, please ask a doctor immediately to confirm whether it is a viral infection or a bacterial infection. If it is a viral infection, use antiviral drugs (such as ribavirin); if it is a bacterial infection, use antibiotics (such as cephalosporins). Do not rush to reduce the fever. The fever is only a symptom and the cause of the disease must be found out.

Another thing I want to say is don’t be superstitious about intravenous infusion. The doctor said that if you can take medicine, don't get an injection, and if you can get an injection, don't get an infusion. The key is to use the right medicine, not strong medicine.

This is some relevant knowledge about vomiting and fever in young children. Do parents know about it? I hope it will be helpful to parents. But I still suggest that if the baby has any problems or feels unwell, I still recommend that you go to the hospital for a detailed examination of the child, which will make parents feel more at ease. I hope every family has a healthy baby and every baby grows up healthy and happy. I wish every family a happy life.
