What to do if the back of the baby's head is hot

Taking care of a baby requires a lot of patience and responsibility, so for many parents this job is very complicated but happy. The healthy growth of the baby is every parent's greatest wish. However, some babies inexplicably develop symptoms of fever on the back of their heads, which makes their parents worried. So what is causing the fever on the back of a baby's head? What should parents do? Let’s take a look together below.

Simply having a fever at the back of the head does not mean anything. If the back of the child's head just leaves the pillow, it should be hot. The human body temperature should be based on the core temperature of the body. The commonly used method of measuring body temperature is the armpit temperature measurement method. You can measure the child's temperature. If the temperature does not exceed 37.3 degrees, there is no problem.

If the baby's spirit, appetite, urination and defecation, etc. are generally good and he does not have a fever, then it is not a big deal. Because the baby's body temperature regulation center is not fully developed, the body temperature is easily affected by the external environment, so heat is produced quickly and dissipated quickly. The baby's forehead is not hot because it is exposed and the heat generated dissipates quickly; the back of the head and body are hot because the body is wearing clothes or covered with quilts, which makes it difficult for the heat in these places to dissipate. Therefore, just pay attention to adding or removing clothes for your baby appropriately according to the weather and the temperature of the outside environment. It is recommended to use round cooling patches on children, which have the effects of cold compress therapy, physical fever reduction, relieving headaches and toothaches caused by fever, refreshing and awakening the brain.

The above is an introduction to what to do if the baby's back of the head is hot. In general, parents do not need to worry too much about the baby's back of the head being hot. As long as they take good care of and observe, and dress the child warmly in time, there will be no harm. Once the baby's back of the head is hot and out of control, they should go to the hospital for examination and treatment in time.
