What to do if your child has a low-grade fever and cough

Children with low-grade fever and cough are very painful for parents. We all hope that our children are healthy and live a healthy life, but children are relatively fragile, which means they are more susceptible to some viruses. However, we are the firefighters and we must ensure the health of our children. So the following editor would like to introduce to you the relevant issues of what to do if your child has a low-grade fever and cough!

For children with colds and coughs, parents should pay attention to the following points:

1. First of all, during the influenza epidemic season, children with fever, colds and coughs should have a longer course of illness. After diagnosis and treatment by the doctor, they should take medicine and receive care at home according to the doctor's instructions. Do not take your child to the hospital repeatedly because of a persistent fever, which increases the chance of repeated infection.

2. Secondly, in the early stage of a child's cold, when the condition is not serious, you can first give some children's cold medicine; when the fever reaches 38.5℃ or above, take antipyretics in time, try to rest quietly, and drink plenty of water. When the condition worsens, you should go to the hospital for treatment in time. It is not advisable to handle it by yourself at this time, especially do not take adult medicines casually.

3. In addition, it is very important for parents to take good care of their children. If a child cannot sleep, there is no need to force him or her, he or she can sit and play. Children with vomiting and diarrhea should be given liquid food on the first day. For children with common fever and cough, they should eat delicious, light and nutritious food. In winter, they must be given hot food. Noodles and rice soup are good. Fever and sweating consume a lot of body fluids, so you should drink more water and juice, and eat more fruits. Do not bathe your child when he is sick, because bathing will increase blood circulation, which is not good for rest and will cause the child to catch a cold again. Children with a lot of phlegm will indeed increase their secretions after taking a bath, but this can only be done after a week of illness, when they have a slight cough in the morning, have a good appetite, can play, and have no fever. Then they can take a bath before going to bed. If you sleep well, you can wash it every other day.

4. There are several methods of treating coughs by boiling pears and rock sugar in water: one is to boil pears, almonds and rock sugar in water to treat wind-heat cough; one is to boil pears, orange peel, white radish and brown sugar in water to treat wind-cold cough; one is to boil pears, Fritillaria cirrhosa and rock sugar in water to treat dry cough, long-term cough and little sputum. Both have certain therapeutic effects.
