What should I do if my 14-month-old baby has a fever?

Some babies have fever problems, which seriously affect the baby's physical health. Therefore, the baby needs to pay attention to timely treatment, especially when the baby has a fever problem, it is necessary to pay attention to timely treatment to avoid affecting the baby's body. So what should I do if a fourteen-month-old baby has a fever? Let me introduce it to you below.

If the baby has repeated fever, it is recommended to check the blood routine in time to see if it is caused by viral infection or bacterial infection. Guidance: It is recommended to use Anruike, Cefixime granules and ribavirin for treatment. Drink more water. At the same time, medical alcohol can be used to physically cool down various parts of the baby's body.

Generally, fever takes 5-7 days to cure. Butt plugs and forehead patches are just symptomatic treatments for fever. Too high a fever can easily lead to dehydration, which is not good for the brain nerves. If a rash appears after the fever subsides and begins to slowly subside on the next day, and it mainly occurs on the head, face, and trunk, it is roseola infantum. No treatment is required and the rash will go away once the fever subsides. Another type of enterovirus can also cause rash, which may occur during fever or after the fever subsides, and may recur. Generally, no special treatment is required. Once the infection is controlled, the rash will gradually subside. It is safer for young babies to take ibuprofen and acetaminophen for fever, but not more than 4 times a day. As long as the baby is in good spirits and eating well, there won't be any problem. If you have diarrhea, give you some Smecta, no need for an IV.

Traditional glass mercury thermometers can be used to measure armpit temperature as well as oral and rectal temperature. It is not recommended to measure oral and rectal temperature for children under 5 years old. Placing the thermometer in the mouth can easily hurt the child, and the method of measuring rectal temperature is also difficult to master.

Head temperature sticker: It is a thermal test paper with adhesive function for measuring temperature. Just press it lightly with your hand when using it. There is a column of squares on the sticker representing different temperature values. When the temperature rises to that temperature point, the squares will turn black and will not return to their original color even after the temperature drops. It can be viewed in about 1 minute and can only provide an approximate range.

Neck temperature measurement method: When the child is asleep, place the thermometer under the neck, close to the skin, and clamp it gently. If there is sweat, wipe it off and check the temperature after 5 minutes. Although this method is simple and easy to use, its accuracy is not high.

The above is my opinion on this issue. If the baby has the above-mentioned fever problem, then the baby needs to pay attention to timely treatment to ensure the health of the body and avoid dangerous situations caused by fever. Finally, I wish the baby a speedy recovery.
