What should I do if my baby has repeated fever due to viral infection?

Some babies are suffering from diseases, so they need to pay attention to take appropriate measures in time to avoid dangerous situations, especially when babies have viral infections and repeated fevers, so they need to pay attention to take appropriate measures in time to ensure the health of the body. So what should babies do if they have viral infections and repeated fevers? Let me introduce it to you below.

My child is seven months old and has repeated fevers. This is because he has some inflammation. Ibuprofen is taken when the fever is high, and physical cooling is used for low fever. He should also drink more water. Fever, also known as fever in medical terms, is a common symptom of many diseases. The normal reference value of baby's body temperature is shown in the figure on the right. If the axillary temperature exceeds 37.4℃ and the body temperature fluctuates by more than 1℃ during the day, it can be considered that the baby has a fever.

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.

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.

The above is my opinion on this issue. If your baby has the above problems, avoid dangerous situations that may cause your baby to have the above-mentioned physical illnesses. In particular, the baby should pay attention to physical safety and health issues to avoid putting the baby in danger. Finally, I wish your baby a speedy recovery.
