The child has fever and a rapid heart rate

Toddlers are relatively young children. If there are some problems with the body, parents are often most worried, especially heart rate problems. Because a child's heart is very fragile. After all, children are young, so various parts of their bodies are not fully developed. However, children's heart rate also has a certain normal range. If any abnormal situation occurs, it must be checked and treated in time. Why do young children have fever and rapid heart rate?

Causes of a fast heart rate in children

(1) Physiological: Physiological tachycardia usually occurs in infancy and childhood, and some patients with ventricular tachycardia do not have organic heart disease or other systemic diseases. It usually occurs during exercise.

(2) Heart disease: Heart disease is the main cause of a rapid heart rate in children. Common causes include viral myocarditis, congenital heart disease, and heart surgery and postoperative heart disease. Cardiomyopathy and cardiac tumors are also common causes.

(4) Electrolyte imbalance and acid-base imbalance: Hypokalemia, hypocalcemia, and hypomagnesemia caused by various reasons are common causes of rapid heart rate.

Experts emphasize that the causes of children's rapid heart rate are those introduced above, some of which are relatively clear, but some are unclear. No matter what causes the rapid heart rate, it must attract the attention of parents. We hope that parents can take their children to the hospital for examination and treatment to avoid more dangerous situations.
