Is my baby's fever serious?

For many new mothers, the biggest worry is that their babies may have fever, illness or other symptoms. If their babies have some diseases, they often feel helpless. Therefore, this requires parents to pay more attention to the care of their children in normal times. So is the baby's fever serious? How should we care for it? Let me introduce it to you in detail below!

1. Analysis of the severity of a baby's fever of 39 degrees

The normal temperature of the human body is between 36 and 37 degrees. If a child has a fever of 39 degrees, it is considered a high fever. When a child has a fever of 39 degrees, the child's face may turn pale. Your child will become very weak and may have convulsions. In addition, persistent high fever in the brain is likely to cause problems with the brain's nerves, leading to intellectual disabilities in children. Therefore, in order to prevent these bad effects, when a child has a fever of 39 degrees, parents need to help the baby reduce the fever in time.

2. Introduction to nursing methods for babies with a fever of 39 degrees

I believe that many families will prepare medicines to reduce fever for their babies in advance, such as antipyretics, antipyretic patches, etc. to reduce fever for their babies. However, for young babies, doctors recommend that they do not use medication to reduce fever on their own to avoid side effects of the medication.

1. Use warm water to wipe the child's body. When the child's whole body is hot, sweat appears on the child's face. This is where the fever-reducing medicine comes into play. However, in order to enhance the effect of reducing fever, we still need to choose to wipe the child's body. Mothers can use a towel dipped in warm water to wipe the baby's body.

2. Replenish water. When a child has a fever, it is easy for him to sweat during the heat dissipation process. At this time, mothers should let their babies drink more water, as drinking water can help babies dissipate heat better. Let your baby urinate more often, as the increased metabolic rate is also beneficial for reducing fever.

If a child has a fever, it is very serious. My son needs timely treatment for his fever and must not delay. The editor reminds you that it is best to choose to use some antipyretic drugs at this stage. If the treatment effect is not very good and the baby's temperature continues to rise, then you need to send the baby to a specialist hospital for treatment in time.
