What to do if your 11-month-old baby has repeated fevers

The baby is the hope of the family and the future of the parents. In order to ensure the baby's physical health, you should observe whether there are any abnormal changes in the baby's body. Influenza is one of the common diseases, especially fever. Recurrent fever can also cause pneumonia, etc. 11-month-old babies are in a critical period of development and their learning ability is the strongest. We must ensure a good development environment for the baby. Let’s find out what to do if an 11-month-old baby has recurrent fever?

Most children have internal heat, and repeated rashes are caused by excessive internal heat in the child's body, which cannot be discharged normally through urination and defecation. When you touch the pulse of such a child, you will feel that it is beating faster, which is not a normal pulse. The urination and defecation are also abnormal. There are red spots on the inside of the index finger. If the spots disappear when an adult presses it with his hand, it means that the heat is on the surface. If there are still red spots, it means that the heat is inside the body, which is more troublesome. For such a young baby, the safest way to clear heat is for adults to "suck sha" for the child or take a medicated bath. Both "sucking sha" and medicated bath can help reduce fever and clear internal heat. Medicated bath is very effective for rashes. "Sucking sha" means that the adult uses his mouth to suck on some acupuncture points of the child until red sha comes out.

"Hegu" and "Yuji" - clear lung fire. The lung governs the skin and fur, so rashes are closely related to lung fire. "Neiting" - clears spleen and stomach fire, such as children's bad breath and loss of appetite. "Neiguan" and palms - clear heart fire, such as excessive eye mucus and red tongue tip. "Taixi" and soles of feet - clear kidney fire, such as yellow and smelly urine. The soles of the feet should not be purged frequently as this may cause kidney deficiency. Stop when symptoms improve. "Taichong" and "Xingjian" - clear liver fire. If the Xingjian acupoint cannot be sucked, you can massage it counterclockwise, or stimulate it slightly. After clearing the liver fire, remember to use your hands to press the Yanglingquan acupoint to relieve liver and depression. The medicinal bath uses honeysuckle, scutellaria baicalensis, coptis chinensis, phellodendron chinense, radix polygoni lobatae, rehmannia root, radix lycii, saposhnikovia divaricata, and mugwort. Adults can grab a handful of each ingredient and boil water for half an hour. Soak for about 10-15 minutes and then rinse with warm water. Do this once a day. The water can be boiled and washed repeatedly for about 5 times.

The bladder meridian is the largest detoxification channel. To dredge the bladder meridian, you can suck on the "Small Intestine Shu" and "Weizhong" - sucking on these two acupoints can relieve runny nose. You can also give him a diet therapy, with 3 grams each of Imperata root, Pueraria root, Phragmites australis, and corn silk (this is also suitable for preventing colds and using it in the early stages of a cold), boil water for him to drink, once a day. If the baby has trouble bowel movements, the best way is to rub his belly and take some probiotics. When he grows up, you can give him children's honey + lemon slices, or squeeze fresh juice for him, and be sure to add cucumber to the juice.

The above is the treatment method for recurrent fever in an 11-month-old baby. The above heat-clearing methods also need to be discharged through urination and defecation. Never underestimate your baby’s fever. Not only colds can cause babies to have fevers, but even diseases of the internal organs can cause them to have fevers. The weather in summer is quite hot, so you must pay attention to preventing heatstroke.
