Is a child's fever of 376 degrees considered a fever? What should I do?

Children are the focus of the whole family. Because children's physical fitness is relatively poor, they are prone to some diseases. Fever in children is a common disease. Many parents are not sure whether their children have a fever. Some parents don't know whether a child's temperature of 376 degrees is considered a fever, and don't know how to deal with it. So, what should we do if a child's temperature is 376 degrees and is it considered a fever?

First, observe the child's mental state. If your child looks normal, you don't need to worry too much. But if he seems tired or listless, you need to pay more attention. Give your child plenty of water. Most of the time, if you give him water when he just develops a fever, his body temperature will go down easily. Give him more warm water. If he really doesn't like warm water, other drinks are fine.

Second, get enough rest. Regardless of whether he continues to have a fever or not, if he looks very tired, then you should supervise your child to go to bed. Adequate sleep will give him more energy to fight germs. Don't hold your sweat. When a child has a fever, do not cover his sweat, as this will only aggravate the condition. Make him wear loose and appropriate clothes and keep the room ventilated.

Touch your body temperature from time to time to see if it has risen. If it reaches 38.5 degrees, it is a serious fever and generally requires antipyretic treatment.

The diet should be light and not too much crispy food, so as not to aggravate the condition. Parents must supervise their children well. A baby's fever of 37.5 degrees is considered a low fever. A baby's fever is mostly caused by cold, indigestion or infection. It is generally recommended to give the baby antipyretics only when the fever exceeds 38.5 degrees, such as Tianqian, Meilin, acetaminophen drops, etc. If the fever does not exceed 38.5 degrees, you can use warm water to wipe the neck, armpits, groin and other parts to physically cool down. Drink more water. If the indoor temperature is appropriate, you can let the baby wear less clothes and let him dry properly to help dissipate heat, but don't cover the baby with sweat. If the baby has recurring fever, you can have a routine blood test. If there is a viral infection, you can give your baby some ribavirin granules and heat-clearing, detoxifying and antipyretic drugs, such as pediatric antipyretic oral liquid. If it is a bacterial infection, you can give your baby some anti-inflammatory drugs such as cephalosporin or azithromycin. If the symptoms do not improve, you should seek medical attention in time.
