Nursing methods for babies with vomiting and low-grade fever

Today's babies are relatively fragile, so it is best not to take them outside to play often, because the air quality outside is not very good, and there are many bacteria that are very easy to get sick. For example, catching a cold will cause your baby to vomit or even have a low fever. So how should you take care of your baby?

Care methods:

1. Maintain good air circulation in your home:

If your home has air conditioning, maintain the room temperature between 25 and 27 degrees Celsius. You can place the child in an air-conditioned room or blow an electric fan around him to slowly lower his body temperature, which will make the child feel more comfortable. But if the limbs are cold and the patient is shivering violently, it means that the patient needs warmth, so he should be covered with a blanket.

2. Take off excess clothing:

If your baby's limbs, hands and feet are warm and he is sweating all over, it means he needs to dissipate heat and he can wear less clothes.

3. Warm water bath:

Undress your baby and rub his whole body with a warm water (37°C) towel. This will dilate the blood vessels in the baby's skin and release body heat. In addition, when water vapor evaporates from the body surface, it will also absorb body heat.

4. Sleeping with an ice pillow:

It helps to dissipate heat, but it is not recommended for younger children because it is difficult for them to turn their bodies and the ice pillow can easily cause local overcooling or hypothermia. 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 will not cause excessive cooling.

5. Drink plenty of water:

To help sweating and prevent dehydration. Water has the function of regulating temperature, which can lower body temperature and replenish water lost in the baby's body.

6. Use antipyretics:

When the core temperature (rectal temperature or ear temperature) of an infant or young child exceeds 38.5℃, antipyretic solutions or suppositories can be used appropriately.

The above is a detailed introduction to the care methods for babies with vomiting and low-grade fever, so I believe many parents have already understood that they should be careful not to let them catch a cold again during the treatment process, and do not feed them too cold food.
