What to do if your baby has repeated fever due to viral cold

What to do if your baby has repeated fever due to viral cold

My baby is still very young, and I dare not give him any random medicine. I originally wanted to give him an injection, but our local doctor said that the child is too young and cannot be given an IV because his body cannot bear it. But I can't just watch my child suffer like this. In this case, what should we do if our baby's viral cold recurs and the fever develops? I looked up some information and would like to share it with you:

Fever is a common symptom of infection. For children with high fever (body temperature greater than 38.5 degrees Celsius), cooling down is the most important treatment measure, and physical cooling at this time is basically ineffective. Antipyretic drugs combined with physical cooling are needed. After the body temperature is controlled, we should consider controlling the body temperature fundamentally, that is, antiviral treatment. If the problem is relatively low, of course, just go to the second step. During the cold, pay attention to indoor ventilation, give the baby more white water, try not to take the baby to crowded places, and pay attention to food hygiene. It is very necessary. A baby's fever is not an ordinary problem and must be taken seriously by parents. First, evaluate other symptoms that accompany the baby's fever, such as whether the baby has cough, sputum, clear breathing sounds, and whether the child has pneumonia. If so, go to the hospital for treatment in time. In addition, if the fever reaches 39 degrees, you should pay attention to protecting the child's brain. You can apply ice to the head and give the child oral Tylenol to reduce the fever. For babies with mild viral colds, you can choose azithromycin granules plus oral xinbolin, which has good effects and few side effects. In addition to necessary treatment, you should also drink more warm water in big gulps, go to urinate after drinking, and then drink again. This is conducive to the improvement of the condition. There is no good way to treat viral colds and fever. Drink more water. You can try massage, push from Quchi to the palm of your hand, do it 100 times in a row, the effect is very good. If the high fever persists, be sure to take antipyretics.

If the baby is small, you must reduce the dosage of the medicine when taking it. If your baby is feeling better, stop giving him/her medication. Just follow the above method to give your baby some fever-reducing massage. If there is no effect during the treatment, I suggest taking the child to a larger hospital. Finally, I wish all babies grow up healthily.
