Baby sweating after taking antipyretic injection

If your baby needs a fever-reducing injection after having a fever, you should go to a regular hospital in time. After the fever-reducing injection, the baby's body may sweat. This is because the body temperature has dropped and the temperature in the body needs to evaporate through sweat. This is normal. At this time, you should give the baby more water to replenish the body's water in time and maintain the balance of the internal environment.

It is possible that the body temperature dropped after the injection, leading to sweating. It may be that the baby is overly sensitive to the medicine. Drink more water, keep warm, do not stay up late, eat a light diet, do not eat spicy or cold food while breastfeeding, do not use fans or air conditioners, and prevent the baby from kicking off the quilt when sleeping at night.

Side effects of fever-reducing injections for children

The commonly used side effect of antipyretic injections is to prevent collapse in people with weak constitutions. Rashes or exfoliative dermatitis are occasionally seen; very few allergic patients have agranulocytosis. Antipyretic injections generally inhibit the central nervous system to achieve the purpose of reducing fever. The baby's central nervous system is not yet fully developed, and frequent injections will cause irreversible damage to the baby's central nervous system. Generally, when a baby has a fever, physical cooling methods should be used first. Use warm water to wipe the baby's limbs, chest and back, and drink more warm water to help the baby dissipate heat. Only when the body temperature exceeds 38.5℃ should injections be used to reduce fever.

What to do if your baby has a fever

For infants under one and a half years old, the anterior fontanelle has not yet completely closed. Parents can cover the child's anterior fontanelle with the palm of their hand after the child falls asleep, and continue to cover it until the child's head sweats slightly. At this time, when looking at the baby, you will find that the nose is unblocked, the breathing is steady, and the temperature has dropped. At this time, parents can wake up the baby and feed him more warm water or brown sugar water, and the baby will soon recover. Therefore, when covering the baby's anterior fontanelle with the palm of your hand, parents must not be anxious. It is best for the child's father to do it, as men have high temperatures and babies are prone to sweating.

There are many side effects of giving antipyretic injections to newborn babies, so it is not recommended to give babies antipyretic injections. It is best to use some physical cooling methods. When the baby is sick, parents are certainly anxious, but they should calm themselves down and find the best solution. If it really doesn't work, take the baby to the hospital for treatment. For the baby's health, parents should assume their due responsibilities.
