What to do if your child has a cold and sweats a lot

It is a common problem for children to catch colds and fevers. Almost all babies will go through the stage of catching colds and fevers. This is a manifestation of the baby's imperfect body resistance and is also a necessary process for gradually building resistance. The impact of children's colds and sweating is relatively large, and may hinder the baby's normal development. Let's take a look at what to do if your child has a cold and sweats a lot?

Cold and fever symptoms in infants and young children are mostly related to infectious factors, and sweating is mostly related to capillary dilation, which helps to take away excess heat from the body and plays a positive role in maintaining normal body temperature. The body temperature needs to be closely monitored. Once it reaches above 38.5 degrees, oral acetaminophen or ibuprofen is required to reduce fever.

Children always sweat after catching a cold. This is because their body is weak after the cold, which leads to weak lung qi. For children in this situation, on the one hand, appropriate cold medicine should be taken for symptomatic treatment. Pay attention to drinking plenty of water, getting more rest, and eating a light diet. On the other hand, children can be given Yupingfeng granules for conditioning. Pay attention to a balanced diet and comprehensive nutrition. Do proper exercise to improve your physical fitness.

In most cases, children's fever is caused by viral infection. Western medicine can reduce fever quickly, but it cannot solve the problem of pathogen infection, and recurrent fever is likely to occur. If your baby's fever does not go down after taking medicine, or if the fever recurs, you can try a combination of Chinese and Western medicine. For example, take some sunflower children's Chaigui antipyretic granules, which are safe and easy to take, and have a good effect in treating exogenous fever. It contains ingredients such as bupleurum, cinnamon twig, kudzu root, duckweed, scutellaria, white peony root, cicada shell, etc., which can play a role in antipyretic, antibacterial, antiviral and anticonvulsant effects. Many children's hospitals are using it, and children also like to drink it with sweet orange flavor.

The treatment of colds in infants and young children is mainly symptomatic support. It is best to choose medicines specifically for children, such as antiviral oral solution, children's acetaminophen granules, children's cough syrup, etc. Sweating after a cold is caused by taking medicine or increased body temperature. Sweating can take away extra heat from the body, which is beneficial for recovery from a cold. Just pay attention to strengthening water and electrolyte supplementation.
