Second, fever can be said to be the most common physical sign in babies.

It’s no wonder that when seeing the child’s face flushed red and his body burning, even the calmest parents would panic. What should I do if my child has a fever? Is reducing fever the best way? What should parents do? Experts explain: Don't rush to reduce fever when your child has a fever

First of all, don’t rush to reduce the fever, but find out the cause of the child’s fever. Fever is not a disease, it is like an alarm bell for the body, reminding you that something abnormal is happening inside the body. At the same time, fever is also a defense measure of our body against pathogenic microorganisms. To a certain extent, appropriate fever is beneficial to enhance the body's resistance and eliminate pathogens. So if the child does not have a high fever, do not rush to reduce the fever immediately, otherwise it will hide the real cause of the disease.

What should you do if your child has a cold, fever and runny nose? Generally speaking, bacteria and viruses are the most common sources of infection for babies. The treatment methods for fever caused by these two situations are completely different. If it is a bacterial infection, the treatment effect will be very good as long as the right antibiotics are chosen. If it is a viral infection, there is currently no specific medicine. You can take Virus Ling, Isatis Root Granules, Honeysuckle, etc. The fever caused by viral infection will subside on its own after a certain period of time. You should not try to treat the fever by all means and use all kinds of medicine at once. If your baby has a fever, don't mix medicines together

Whether to give children antipyretics requires weighing the pros and cons. Of course, medicine can improve the child's condition and make the baby feel more comfortable; but it is also likely to bring some side effects. The World Health Organization recommends that no antipyretic drugs should be used for infants under 2 months old. In general, antipyretic medications should be used only for children with high fevers. The method and dosage of taking must be done according to the doctor's instructions. We recommend giving your child antipyretics only when the body temperature exceeds 38.5 degrees Celsius. If your child has a history of high fever convulsions, you may give him or her antipyretics when the temperature reaches 38 degrees Celsius.
