What should I do if my baby vomits half an hour after taking the antipyretic medicine?

Due to the child's poor ability to adapt to the external environment, the body's immune system has not yet fully developed. If you feel a little uncomfortable, you may develop a fever, or your body temperature may rise rapidly after taking the medicine. Especially in the hot summer, if parents use improper air conditioning or drink less water, and cannot adapt to the high temperature weather, it will cause recurrent fever. So, what should I do if my baby vomits half an hour after taking the antipyretic medicine?

If a child has a cold and a fever over 38.5 degrees, it is necessary to reduce the fever. After vomiting after taking antipyretics, you can take it again in half the dose. If vomiting still occurs, you can change to other antipyretic drugs or take physical measures to reduce the fever.

Generally, if a child's fever is below 38.5℃, parents should adopt physical cooling methods, such as drinking more water, using fever-reducing patches, etc., and do not abuse drugs. When a child's fever is above 38.5℃, it is best to give the child medication under the guidance of a doctor.

1. When the body temperature is below 38.5℃, physical cooling is the preferred intervention.

Fever is the most common symptom of infectious diseases in children. The treatment of fever can be roughly divided into "physical treatment" and "drug treatment". Generally speaking, when a child's body temperature is below 38°C, there is no need to use drug treatment, but choose the correct physical cooling method. For example, applying a fever-reducing patch, drinking plenty of water, and taking a warm bath can all help lower body temperature.

2. Infants and young children with a body temperature above 38.5°C need drug treatment.

If you find that your child's body temperature has exceeded 38.5℃, parents should closely observe the child's condition so as to respond in time. For infants and young children, when their body temperature exceeds 38.5℃, they need to be given medication.

3. If the body temperature is above 39°C, medication should be taken under the guidance of a doctor.

When a child's body temperature exceeds 39°C and is considered a high fever, Western medicine treatment is usually chosen. Currently, ibuprofen and paracetamol are commonly used antipyretics in clinical practice. These two types of drugs are relatively safe. But one thing that must be made clear is that parents should use the medication under the guidance of a doctor, especially pay attention to the dosage, and send the baby to the hospital for treatment in time.
