What should I do if my baby has a fever caused by throat inflammation?

The physical health of children is very important to any family, because every parent hopes that their children can grow up healthily without suffering from any disease. But this is just hope. There are many factors that induce disease, including some dietary factors, which make children more susceptible to certain diseases. So, what should I do if my baby has a fever caused by throat inflammation?

The first thing to say is that repeated sore throat and fever in babies is a very common emergency in infancy. It can be intimidating for first-time parents. But it is a common problem before children are 7 years old. There are many reasons for its formation. Understanding the reasons for its formation will be very helpful in encountering similar incidents in the future and taking timely prevention measures.

This symptom is medically called acute upper respiratory tract infection, which is often referred to as bacterial infection by doctors. Bacteria exist all the time, and it is possible that the child accidentally brings something carrying bacteria into the baby's body through his hands, food, air, or mouth. It could also be that you ate something that your body is allergic to. It could also be a cold. The most feared thing in the southern part of China, especially in Guangdong Province, is getting angry. There are many other possible factors.

First, you need to go to the hospital for diagnosis. The doctor will usually prescribe medicine, including cough suppressants, expectorants, fever-reducing drugs, and anti-inflammatory drugs. These medicines for children are generally available in regular pharmacies. Basically everyone who goes to the hospital and sells medicine knows about it. Or you can search the Internet for the above-mentioned medicines for children and the results will appear. You can keep some at home.

This recurring fever usually lasts for 2-3 days. Generally, after the fever subsides, it will start to rise again after a few hours. When the fever reaches 38.5 degrees, take antipyretic medicine immediately (the usage and dosage will be written on the packaging box). Drink plenty of water and give your child some warm water every 5 minutes. The purpose of drinking more water is to urinate, and each urination brings out a large amount of temperature in the body. The more you urinate, the easier it is to cool down your body quickly. Then the forehead needs to be cooled physically, that is, applying an ice bag or an ice towel. Ordinary cooling patches will not be very effective at this time. Keep wiping your body, hands, and feet with warm water. (It is not recommended to use alcohol wiping method casually. Although the effect is good, most people are not professional and do not know the dosage. In order to avoid any harm, it is recommended not to try it easily.) Use a hot towel to wipe the body, apply cold compress to the forehead, drink water to urinate, and use cooling medicine. And if you keep using the first three methods, the effect will be very obvious.

Remember to keep measuring your body temperature and record it. Once your temperature reaches 38.5, use emergency antipyretic drugs immediately. You should also take the medicine prescribed by the doctor on time. Let your child rest more.
