Nursing methods for children with fever and cold limbs

In life, more and more parents and friends will find that their children always have fever and cold limbs, or other strange phenomena, which makes many parents very worried. So in the following article, I will introduce to you how to deal with these symptoms in children.

Post-diagnosis precautions After visiting the hospital, when you return home, there are some simple things the mother can do to make her child feel more comfortable. Drink more water. Drinking water helps to sweat and dissipate heat, lower body temperature and replenish the water lost by the child's body. Drinking water is not limited to plain water. You can let your child drink some of his or her favorite fruit juice, beverages, etc. to replenish water and vitamins, or drink more soup. When a child is sick and has no appetite, you can let him/her eat some cake, tofu, etc.

Pay attention to keeping warm. Insulation does not mean the warmer the better. When your child has a fever, remember not to let him dress in too many clothes or cover him with too thick a quilt. This traditional method of "covering up sweat" is not conducive to dissipating heat and reducing fever. Just let the child wear one more piece of clothing than the normal adult. For example, when the adult wears short sleeves, the child can wear long sleeves. When the adult wears one long skirt, the child can wear two.

Take a warm shower. Some mothers worry that giving their children a bath while they have a fever will aggravate the symptoms. After having a fever, you sweat a lot. If you don’t keep clean, it is easy to cause infection by other bacteria, so taking a shower is necessary, but you must use warm water, and the water temperature is best at 38-39℃. Wiping or bathing your child's entire body with warm water can dilate the blood vessels in his or her skin and increase heat dissipation. After taking a shower, wrap your child in a large towel to prevent him from catching a cold.

From the article, we learned that if a child has a fever and cold limbs, we should take the child to the hospital for examination in time and take measures to reduce the fever. In daily life, we should also let the child drink more water, replenish water, and add clothes in time.
