Why do babies have repeated fevers and what should parents do?

After all, babies are very young, so their physical constitution is relatively weak. Therefore, many babies are always prone to fever when they are young, and what worries parents is that the fever is often high and does not go away. So, is it really true that the baby's high fever is just a weak constitution? In fact, it is not. There are many reasons for the baby's repeated fever. So, if your baby has a repeated fever, what should parents do to relieve it?

Why does a child have a recurring fever?

1. If the indoor ventilation is poor, or the baby wears too many clothes or covers himself with too thick a quilt, the baby's body temperature cannot be dissipated, causing a "false fever".

2. When the baby has just finished eating hot food or milk, his body temperature may be too high due to rapid blood circulation.

3. After the baby has just finished taking a bath, the body temperature will be slightly lower because the water absorbs heat.

4. Some babies may also have mild fever symptoms after vaccination, such as "diphtheria, whooping cough, tetanus", etc. These fever symptoms usually disappear on their own within 1-2 days. Otherwise, it is best to seek medical attention in time.

What to do if your child has a recurring fever

1. When a child's body temperature is below 38°C, there is no need to use medication. Instead, just choose the correct physical cooling method. For example, applying a fever-reducing patch, drinking plenty of water, and taking a warm bath can all help lower body temperature.

2. If the baby's temperature exceeds 38.5℃, medication is needed to reduce the temperature. When the body temperature exceeds 39°C, it is easy to induce convulsions caused by high fever, and antipyretic drugs must be used. Especially when the body temperature suddenly exceeds 40℃, it is necessary not only to use antipyretic drugs but also other antipyretic methods.

3. Cooling patch: The water in the gelatinous substance of the cooling patch can take away the heat when it evaporates, and there will be no excessive cooling.

Parents should be especially reminded that if their child has a fever for more than three consecutive days without improvement or if the baby has a high fever or convulsions, they should seek medical attention in time to identify the cause and provide symptomatic treatment.
