What should I do if my child has a fever after eating?

In life, people may develop diseases due to many factors. Children are more likely to get sick than adults. Many children will get sick due to improper daily diet, and fever is a very common condition. Children will have a fever due to improper diet, and parents do not know how to deal with this situation properly. So, what should we do if our children have a fever after eating?

First, what should we do if our child has a fever after eating? Physical cooling: We can use the method of warm water bath. For children whose body temperature is too high (above 40°C), who are feverish and irritable, or who have had convulsions, you can try taking a warm bath. Let the water stay on the child's body to lower the body temperature through evaporation, but do not use cold water; you can also use 35% alcohol to wipe the neck, groin, armpits, etc. for physical cooling. Antipyretic: Currently commonly used antipyretic drugs are antipyretic and analgesic drugs containing "paracetamol". It is safe and effective, and is available in drops, solutions, and tablets. Parents can choose according to the age of their children. When the child's body temperature reaches 38.5℃ or above, it is necessary to take the medicine correctly according to the doctor's advice or instructions.

Second, fever can be said to be the most common physical sign in babies. According to statistics, children who go to the hospital due to fever generally account for 10% to 15% of children's outpatient visits. It’s no wonder that when seeing the child’s face flushed red and his body burning, even the calmest parents would panic. 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.

What should you do if your child gets a fever after eating? If your child has a fever, don't rush to reduce the temperature. First of all, don't rush to reduce the fever. Instead, 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. There are many causes of fever in children. Upper respiratory tract infection, gastroenteritis, tonsillitis, pneumonia and all infectious diseases may cause fever symptoms. In addition, babies under one year old may also develop fever due to urinary tract infections, gastrointestinal diseases, and hand, foot and mouth disease. In many cases, a doctor must be consulted to find out the real cause of the fever.
