What should I do if my baby has recurring high fever?

In our lives, young babies with poor resistance often have symptoms of fever, cough and cold. The most effective way for us to treat fever is to help children reduce fever quickly. If the fever is not reduced in time, it will have a great impact on their physical health. So what should we do if our children have repeated high fevers? Later, the editor will introduce it in detail to parents and friends!

What to do if your baby has repeated fever

Tools/Raw Materials

Low-alcohol liquor, cotton wool, fever-reducing patch, etc.

Methods/Steps

1. The first step is to confirm the cause of the baby's fever. There are different reasons for a baby's fever, such as a cold, inflammation, or some babies do not have any physical discomfort before having a fever. If the high fever recurs, please go to the hospital for a blood test in time to confirm whether it is viral or bacterial so that the right medicine can be prescribed.

2. The second step is to take medicine in time and control body temperature. Apply the antipyretic patch on the baby's forehead and give different types of medication based on the blood test results, whether it is viral or bacterial. Doctors recommend that if the temperature exceeds 38.5 degrees, the baby should take antipyretics. Tylenol is the best choice for infants. Because antipyretics can only be taken once every 4-6 hours, if the time is not up and the body temperature continues to rise, you can choose to use low-alcohol liquor to rub the baby's palms, soles of feet, chest, back and other parts for physical cooling. In addition, bathing is suitable for some babies.

3. The third step is to measure body temperature frequently and pay attention to heat dissipation. Many mothers think that if you have a fever, you should wear more clothes and sweat. In fact, this is a misunderstanding. Doctors recommend that you do not deliberately add clothes and quilts to your baby when she has a fever to ensure heat dissipation. I personally recommend taking your baby's temperature every half an hour to an hour. To prevent other complications from high body temperature.

4. The fourth step is to help your baby’s fever go away. If it is a bacterial fever, the fever will usually subside within 1-2 days with proper treatment and everything will be normal. If it is a viral fever, mothers should pay attention as it may be a precursor to emergency room visits for young children. Starting from the third day, the body temperature will gradually drop to over 37 degrees until it returns to normal, and then a rash will appear.

5. The fifth step is the treatment of roseola infantum. The rash will appear immediately after the viral fever subsides. Mothers don’t need to worry too much, as the baby has no obvious discomfort and the room can be ventilated normally. After three days, the rash completely disappeared.

The above editor has introduced some detailed methods to relieve and treat children’s recurring high fever. I hope you have mastered them! With the help of good methods, mothers don’t have to worry about their children having high fever. We can quickly use these good methods to help them reduce the fever and let the children get healthy effectively.
