Analysis of how many degrees a baby has a fever at eight months old

There are many issues regarding baby health, and babies are one of the most vulnerable groups. Today we will analyze how many degrees are considered a fever for an eight-month-old baby. In fact, there is no precise definition for this kind of thing because the baby's reaction is not particularly obvious. The initial symptoms are mainly red face, hot forehead, cold hands and feet, and poor spirits. This will make many mothers worried and at a loss. I hope the following information can help you.

The normal body temperature of the human body is 36-37℃. 37-38℃ is a low fever, 38-39℃ is a moderate fever, above 39℃ is a high fever, and above 40℃ is an extremely high fever. Young mothers do not need to panic when they find that their children have a fever. They can take some emergency measures at home in time to relieve the symptoms. Every family should have a thermometer and antipyretics for emergency use. Children with fever should have their temperature measured every 1-2 hours. Antipyretics should not be used if the temperature of a child is below 38.5°C.

When the body temperature exceeds 38.5℃, physical therapy such as cooling patches or ice compresses can be used to reduce the temperature, or children's cooling tablets can be taken in appropriate amounts; when the body temperature exceeds 39℃, the child should stay in bed, open the quilt or loosen the clothes to expose the skin, place an ice pack or a cold wet towel on the head, and go to the hospital for diagnosis and treatment as soon as possible; in the event of high fever convulsions, the child's eyes will stare or move upwards, he will lose consciousness, will not respond to calls, his lips, face and body will be cyanotic, and his limbs will twitch. Parents should immediately press the child's "Ren Zhong" acupoint (at the midpoint of the nasolabial groove), with strong stimulation continuing for 1-3 minutes until the child cries, and then use the above method to quickly reduce the temperature, and also go to the hospital for diagnosis and treatment immediately. Babies under six months old generally do not receive antipyretic injections or take antipyretic medicine when they have a high fever. The best way to reduce the temperature is a warm water sponge bath. Regardless of whether the fever subsides after emergency treatment, the child should be taken to the hospital for treatment.

Do you know what temperature is considered a fever for an eight-month-old baby? This problem can be easily solved by the above methods, and there is no need to worry too much. A baby's fever or a mild fever is not a serious illness. The main thing is to take good care of the baby. You can avoid this kind of thing from happening. Just pay attention to your usual eating habits and climate changes, and you will feel at ease.
