Why does my child have a low fever at night but not during the day?

It is very common for children to have a fever, especially in babies under one year old. The probability of this happening is very high, because the children's immune organs are not yet fully developed at this time, so their physical fitness is relatively poor, which makes it easy to have a fever. Some children will have a fever, but their body temperature is not high. So why do children have a fever at night but not during the day?

First, wear less clothes to allow your child to dissipate heat. The traditional idea is that when a child has a fever, he or she should be wrapped tightly with clothes and quilts to "force" the sweat out. In fact, this is wrong. When children have a fever, they will shiver and parents may think that their children have chills, but in fact, this is because their increased body temperature causes convulsions.

Second, help your child cool down physically. There are the following common methods:

1. Cold wet compress on the head: Soak a soft towel in 20℃-30℃ cold water

Then squeeze it slightly to prevent dripping, fold it and place it on the forehead, and change it every 3-5 minutes.

2. Head ice pillow: Fill the ice bag half full with small ice cubes and a small amount of water, expel the air from the bag, press the bag opening tightly, and place it on the pillow after there is no water leakage.

3. Wipe with warm water or take a warm bath: Wipe the child's head, armpits, limbs with a warm, wet towel or take a warm bath, scrub the skin more to promote heat dissipation.

4. Alcohol bath: suitable for cooling down high fever. Prepare 200-300 ml of 20%-35% alcohol and use it to rub the limbs and back. Third, drink plenty of water and don’t take any medicine casually. When the child has a high fever, breathing speeds up and sweating causes the body to lose a lot of water.

When he has a fever, he should be given plenty of water to increase urine volume, which can promote the excretion of toxins in the body.

Why does my baby have a fever at night?

1. Pathological fever. During the day, the baby may be exposed to certain pathogens, causing gastrointestinal or respiratory diseases in the baby, thus causing fever. Generally speaking, during the day, the baby's spirit is better, and the various functions of the body are running at high speed, so the symptoms of this disease will be covered up. Many mothers may find that the baby has a little fever, but they will only think that the baby is running hot, and they will be fine after they rest for a while. When the baby starts to rest at night, the body's hormones will drop rapidly, and the symptoms of fever will be very obvious at this time, so everyone will have the symptom that the baby does not have a fever during the day but has a fever at night!

2. Non-pathological fever. Generally speaking, the weather is gradually getting warmer, but many parents are still afraid that their children will be cold. In addition, the temperature at night is relatively low. At this time, parents will dress their children a little more. In fact, wearing too many clothes will also cover the children. In addition, the air in the house is not circulated enough, and the children will become dehydrated after sweating! These situations may cause children to have a high fever~

3. High-calorie foods cause fever. Some parents like to feed their babies some high-calorie foods before going to bed, such as milk and various nutritional supplements. After falling asleep, the baby's stomach cannot digest them well, which will generate more heat and induce fever.
