What to do if your baby coughs and has a repeated fever

The biggest headache for many parents is their baby's repeated fever and cough, because the baby's own resistance is relatively weak, and the recovery period of cold and cough is longer. Therefore, as parents, before taking the baby to the doctor, you can use some methods at home to deal with the baby's cold and cough in advance, help the baby relieve the symptoms in advance, or cooperate with the doctor's treatment, which can also promote the baby's recovery as soon as possible. Let's learn these methods together.

1. Maintain good air circulation in your home:

If your home has air conditioning, maintain the room temperature between 25-27℃. 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 the baby and rub the whole body with a warm water (37℃) towel. This will dilate the blood vessels in the baby's skin and release body qi. In addition, when water vapor evaporates from the body surface, it will also absorb body heat.

4. Use a cooling patch:

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. Babies with a history of tracheitis or pneumonia can use Yiqi stickers to protect their lungs

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.

Through the above introduction, do you have a better understanding of how to help your baby resist repeated fever and cough? According to the above methods, when your baby has repeated colds and coughs, you can deal with them in time so that your baby can recover faster. As a parent, you should carefully observe your baby's symptoms and treat your baby according to the actual situation.
