Why does my child feel hot and cold and have dry mouth in the middle of the night?

As we all know, the various functions of children's bodies are growing and developing in the early childhood period, and their resistance to diseases is insufficient, so they are very prone to diseases. Some parents find that their children will feel hot and cold and have dry mouth at night, but they don't know what causes this situation and how to solve it. So, why does a child feel hot and cold and have dry mouth in the middle of the night?

First, why does a child feel hot and cold and have a dry mouth in the middle of the night? This situation is a symptom of a cold and fever. Generally speaking, most fevers are caused by infections. The pathogens of the infection may be bacteria, viruses, mycoplasma, etc. The first two are the most common. I suggest you do a blood test for your child, which can roughly reflect whether the child is infected with bacteria or viruses, and then choose antibiotics or antiviral drugs according to the results. Viral infection is prone to bacterial infection in the later stage, so if it is not convenient to go for a test, antibiotics and antiviral drugs can be taken at the same time. If the body temperature exceeds 38.5 degrees Celsius, you can use antipyretics or drugs to lower the body temperature. Physical cooling generally uses warm water bathing. You can add a little force when rubbing, and it is best to rub until the skin is slightly red.

Second, bad habits. It has been found that some children who eat before going to bed or fall asleep with a bottle in their arms are also prone to catching a cold. Milk is the best culture medium for bacteria. Children who do not brush their teeth or rinse their mouths are most likely to get sore throats. Adequate rest is crucial for colds. Try to let your child sleep more, reduce outdoor activities appropriately, and don't let your baby get tired. Take good care of your baby's diet and let your baby drink more water. Adequate water can make the nasal secretions thinner and easier to clean. Let your baby eat more fruits and juices rich in vitamin C. It is said that chicken soup can relieve the symptoms of colds, so you might as well make some chicken soup for your baby to drink. Try to limit your intake of dairy products, which can increase mucus production. For babies with decreased appetite, mothers should prepare some easily digestible foods that are good in color, aroma and taste.

Why does a child feel hot and cold and have a dry mouth in the middle of the night? Ice compress: You can use a small amount of ice compress appropriately, and apply ice or cold compress to the baby's forehead, both sides of the neck, armpits, groin and other large blood vessels. But be sure to wrap a layer of cloth around the ice bag to prevent local frostbite on the baby's skin, and babies under 6 months old should not be given ice compresses. There is still much controversy about the pros and cons of this approach. It is generally believed that ice compresses do more harm than good, because they may cause the capillaries in the baby's skin to contract, hindering heat dissipation and causing the body temperature to be higher. Especially if accompanied by chills or shivering, ice compresses should not be used.
