How to care for a baby with a high fever and cold hands and feet

Babies are the apple of their parents' eyes. If the baby shows some abnormal conditions, parents will definitely be very worried and don't know how to deal with it. In fact, parents should learn more about common baby diseases in daily life, so that they will not be at a loss when the baby becomes sick. In the following article, we will introduce to you how to care for your baby with a high fever and cold hands and feet.

Diet care during fever

What should babies eat when they have a fever? Should they avoid certain foods? Different doctors had different suggestions: the first time, Doctor A said to avoid fish; the second time, Doctor B said to avoid meat; the third time, Doctor C said to avoid fruit. Finally, the only thing the baby could eat was porridge.

In fact, just remember one center and two principles:

One key point is: drink more water. The trick to drinking water is to drink small amounts multiple times, 10 ml every ten minutes, and don't force yourself to drink if you don't want to. It is okay to drink fruit juice and beverages in moderation, but your baby will vomit if he is always fed plain water.

There are two principles: first, babies can eat any food they normally eat, and just let them eat until they are 70% to 80% full; second, all food given to babies must be light and easily digestible.

Fever care

Phenomenon 1: When the baby's fever has subsided or is still at a low level, as long as he is in good spirits, take him out to play football, ride a bike, and sweat a little, and he will get better quickly.

Playing football and riding a bike are strenuous activities that will consume the baby's physical strength, reduce resistance, and easily cause recurrence of the disease. Appropriate walking is okay, but too much fatigue is not good.

Phenomenon 2: Stay at home, close the doors and windows, and don’t let any wind in!

The air is not circulating, fresh air cannot come in, and stale air cannot go out. Do you want to catch a cold with your baby?

Phenomenon three: Wear more clothes, sweat a lot, and the fever will go away and the disease will be cured.

Covering up to make the baby sweat will reduce the fever a little, but the disease will not be cured immediately. The younger the baby is, the weaker the heat dissipation function is. It is not good to cover up to make the baby have a high fever. If the baby has a high fever convulsion, the gain will outweigh the loss.
