Is 357 a low-grade fever for children?

The thing that parents worry about most is when their baby is sick, especially when the baby has a fever. If the parents do not handle it properly, it is easy to cause febrile convulsions in children, which has a great impact on the baby's brain. Under normal circumstances, a baby's temperature of 35.7 is not a low fever, but low body temperature. When a baby has a low body temperature, it is necessary to keep the baby warm to raise the body temperature. However, if the baby has a fever, it is best for parents to take the baby to the hospital for treatment in time.

How to deal with baby’s fever?

Reasons for baby's fever:

Most of the time, babies catch colds because they are not covered properly when sleeping, causing the baby to catch a cold, or the baby wears too thin clothes when playing outside and catches a cold, which can also cause fever. Many mothers worry that their babies will catch a cold, so they dress their babies too thickly, causing them to sweat. They also drink too little water and keep their babies too hot, causing them to catch a cold if they are exposed to the slightest breeze. A baby's fever may also be caused by inflammation. You can check whether the baby's tonsils are inflamed or whether there are diseases in other parts of the body, such as rashes, which can also cause the baby's fever.

How to deal with baby's fever:

1. Many mothers are worried about whether they should go to the hospital when their baby has a fever? The mother can judge based on the baby's mental state. If the baby just has a fever but is in other good conditions, and his sleeping, feeding and drinking at night are only slightly worse than usual, the baby does not need to go to the hospital.

2. If the baby's fever is below 38 degrees, there is no need to go to the hospital. Mothers can cool down their babies physically, but don't let them wear too many clothes, as this will not help lower their body temperature. Give your baby more boiled water and bathe him with warm water.

3. When the baby's body temperature is above 38 degrees, the mother can exercise the baby's resistance ability without taking the baby to the hospital. Cool down the baby physically. If that doesn't work, you can apply a fever-reducing patch to the baby, or give him some fever-reducing syrup. Keep the air in your home well-circulated and the room temperature not too high.

4. Give your baby more vegetable juice and fruit juice to supplement his vitamins. Don't give your baby cold water, as it will aggravate his condition. You can give your baby proper foot soaking to promote blood circulation and help cool down the baby. Put the baby in a room with relatively low temperature, which is good for cooling the baby down, but the baby cannot stay in the room for a long time, as the baby's hands and feet will become cold.

5. Mothers can also lower the baby's body temperature by massaging acupoints, ensuring the baby gets enough sleep and has a balanced diet. When the baby's fever gets lower and lower, the mother can rest assured. If the baby's condition has not changed for several days, the mother should take the baby to the hospital in time.
