What should I do if my baby is frightened and has a fever?

There are many reasons that cause babies to have fever, such as infection with infectious viruses, colds, and some babies may have fever when they are frightened. When a baby has a fever, effective measures should be taken in time to treat it, because as the fever symptoms worsen, it may damage the baby's brain organs. The following is a detailed introduction on what to do if the baby is frightened and has a fever.

Because children's brain, nerves and other body regulatory functions are not fully developed, fright can cause children to have a fever. Especially infants and young children, whose nervous systems are unstable, will have a fever under strong external stimulation.

Guidance:

If the fever and inflammation persist, you can use penicillin intramuscularly or intravenously. The effect is very good. If the child is still large after the inflammation is cured, it will generally become smaller as the child grows up. It is estimated that your child has not completely recovered after the fever subsided. Drink more water, take some oral heat-clearing and fire-removing drugs, and eat less spicy and sweet food to reduce recurrence. There is no other way.

Life care:

Every time a child gets angry and coughs, you must treat it immediately without delay. There is no other way. You can also pay attention to improving your child's immunity. You can choose to give your baby colostrum, and add a little Life Sunshine colostrum. In addition to rich high-quality protein, vitamins, minerals and other nutrients, colostrum is also rich in active immunoglobulins, which can inhibit the reproduction of bacteria.

Fever reduction method:

1. Maintain air circulation in the home: If the home has air conditioning, maintain the room temperature between 25-27℃. You can place the child in an air-conditioned room or blow an electric fan around him to slowly lower his body temperature, which will make the child feel more comfortable. But if the limbs are cold and the patient is shivering violently, it means that the patient needs warmth, so he should be covered with a blanket.

2. Take off too many clothes: If the baby's limbs and hands and feet are warm and the whole body is sweating, it means that the baby needs to dissipate heat, so he can wear fewer clothes.

3. Warm water bath: Undress the baby and rub the whole body with a warm water (37℃) towel. This will dilate the blood vessels in the baby's skin and release body qi. In addition, when water vapor evaporates from the body surface, it will also absorb body heat.

4. Sleeping with an ice pillow: It helps to dissipate heat, but it is not recommended for younger children because it is difficult for young children to turn their bodies, and the ice pillow can easily cause local overcooling or hypothermia. You can also use a cooling patch. When the water in the gelatinous substance of the cooling patch evaporates, it can take away the heat and will not cause excessive cooling.

5. Drink more water to help sweating and prevent dehydration. Water has the function of regulating temperature, which can lower body temperature and replenish water lost in the baby's body.

6. Use antipyretics: When the core temperature (rectal temperature or ear temperature) of an infant or young child exceeds 38.5°C, you can use antipyretic solutions or suppositories appropriately. If you have a fever, it is best to see a doctor. But sometimes it is inconvenient to reduce the fever at home first. Generally, if the body temperature is below 38, there is no need to reduce the fever.
