What's wrong with a one and a half year old baby suddenly having a fever?

Nowadays, every child is the treasure of the family, and parents are paying more and more attention to their children's health. When it comes to health, we should start with the children’s lifestyle and diet, so as to ensure their healthy growth. However, recently many parents have reported that their one and a half year old babies have fever, and the fever persists. Today I will explain to you what to do if your 11-month-old baby has a fever.

First, we need to confirm a few questions: 1. What is the fever of the baby? If it is above 39.5 degrees, don't look down and send it directly to the hospital. If it is below, you can treat it at home; 2. Is the baby having a recurring fever or is it just this time? If it is a recurring fever, send it to the hospital

Generally, when the temperature does not exceed 39 degrees, the baby can be treated with physical cooling methods at home.

1. Use warm water to wipe the palms and soles of the baby's feet, as well as the arteries of the neck and thighs. You can also apply a fever-reducing patch. The warm water should not exceed the baby's body temperature, nor be too low. It is best to keep it about the same as the baby's body temperature.

2. Feed your baby plenty of water, don't cover him with too many quilts, keep the indoor air fresh, and wipe off his sweat more often. This will help him excrete toxins. During this stage, you should feed your baby liquid or semi-liquid food.

Things to note when going to the hospital:

1. When you take your baby to the hospital for medical treatment, try to go to a regular hospital instead of a small clinic;

2. It is especially important to note that it is best not to take antibiotics for babies, as they are prone to producing antibodies and are not good for babies.

If your baby suddenly has a high fever for unknown reasons, you should pay attention to whether your baby has roseola infantum. The symptoms are generally: a pink rash on the body. If the fever is gone after 2-3 days and a rose-colored maculopapular rash appears on the body, it is best to go to the hospital for a more comprehensive examination. It is best to have some Chinese patent medicine at home. I have some at home: fever-reducing patches, honeysuckle, Motrin and so on.

The above is what we introduced to you about what causes baby fever and some treatment methods. The baby's body is very fragile shortly after birth, so as parents we must pay great attention to the child's physical condition. If any disease occurs, treatment should be sought immediately. If the best treatment time is delayed, it will easily affect the child's future health.
