What to do if your two-year-old baby catches a cold and has a fever

Colds and fevers are very common. When you have such conditions, you need to relieve them in time. To improve your baby's cold and fever, you should pay attention to the choice of medicine for your baby. You cannot do it casually. Giving your baby some medicine casually will have an impact on the baby's body, especially it will affect the baby's physical growth. Parents should pay attention to this. What should you do if a two-year-old baby has a cold and fever? The following is a detailed introduction.

What to do if your two-year-old baby has a cold and fever:

If the baby's fever does not exceed 38.5℃, you can use physical cooling methods, such as wiping the whole body with a warm towel, or giving the baby a bath. Make sure the water temperature is around 37℃. Do not let the baby catch a cold when coming out of the water. Wrap the baby in a bath towel in time, and wipe the palms of the hands and soles of the feet with alcohol.

If the temperature exceeds 38.5℃, you should seek medical attention immediately to avoid other chain reactions. Tests and examinations can also help find the real cause, and you can use medication under the doctor's guidance (for example, colds can be bacterial or viral, and the medications are completely different. The diagnosis and treatment methods for fever should also be different depending on what causes it. Don't be afraid of antibiotics and avoid seeing a doctor, so as not to delay your baby's recovery).

1. Most babies have fevers because of catching a cold. If the baby has cold hands and feet, white tongue coating, pale face, and light urine during the fever, parents can use ginger and brown sugar water to dispel the cold. Add 2-3 1-inch long pieces of green onion to the water, which will help the baby sweat.

2. If the baby has a fever, sore throat, yellow tongue coating, and yellow urine with a strong odor, it means that the child has severe internal heat. At this time, he cannot drink ginger and sugar water, but should drink plenty of warm boiled water. You can also add a small amount of salt to the water.

After understanding what to do if a two-year-old baby has a cold and fever, you can follow the above methods to improve the condition of a two-year-old baby with a cold and fever. The treatment methods chosen are different depending on the baby's situation. Therefore, when relieving your baby's cold and fever, you should also pay attention to these situations to avoid aggravating your own problems.
