What are the symptoms of a baby's fever?

In life, we know that taking care of a baby is a very difficult task, especially taking care of a younger baby. Once the baby has some problems with his body and he will not express them, parents need to observe carefully. Among them, baby fever is a relatively common phenomenon. Failure to adjust in time will have a certain impact on the baby's health, and long-term fever will also lead to other diseases. Therefore, parents must pay great attention to it. Let's take a look at the symptoms of baby fever below.

Symptoms of fever in babies

Body temperature itself is not the real most critical method to observe childhood illness. For adults, the level of body temperature usually reflects the severity of the illness. This is not the case with children, as their bodies' temperature control is not yet perfect. Some children have a fever of up to 40°C when they are infected with mild diseases, but only 38.3°C when they are infected with more serious diseases. When a child has a fever, parents should observe his complexion, expression and actions. A child with a temperature of 100.5°C but a pale, unnaturally quiet complexion may be sicker than a child with a temperature of 100.5°C but still running around the house making a fuss. If a child with a fever shows the following symptoms, see a doctor regardless of the temperature.

1. He keeps crying and it is useless no matter who comforts him.

2. It is difficult to wake up.

3. If someone tries to touch or move the child, he will cry.

4. The neck is stiff and inflexible.

5. Uncontrollable twitching or spasms in the arms, thighs, or other parts of the body.

6. Confusion and strange behavior (seeing or hearing things that are not there, saying strange things or behaving abnormally).

7. There are noises when breathing.

8. Unable to swallow any food and drooling constantly.

9. Purple spots appear on the skin.

10. Skin color is grayish white or dark blue.

11. The pulse is weak but fast and rapid (a child under 1 year old has a pulse of more than 160 beats per minute; a child over 1 year old has a pulse of more than 120 beats per minute).

12. Burning or pain when urinating.

13. There is blood in the stool during diarrhea.

The above is an introduction to the symptoms of a baby's fever. I hope it will be helpful to many parents after understanding it. Generally, babies will cry when they have a fever, and you should observe the child's mental state more often. If necessary, take the baby to the hospital for examination and treatment in time.
