How does darling virus infection have a fever to do?
1, physical cooling
(1) Drink more warm water, green vegetable water and fruit juice. Drink plenty of water and replenish body fluids for your baby. This is the most basic way to cool down, and it is very effective and practical, suitable for all babies with fever. Don't give the baby cold water, because the baby often has gastrointestinal symptoms and cough when he has a fever. Drinking cold water will aggravate these accompanying symptoms, so give your baby warm water.
(2) Warm water bath, that is, wiping the whole body with a warm towel. This is a good way to cool down, and it is also suitable for all babies with fever. The water temperature is 32℃-34℃, and the wiping time is longer than 10 minute. The key parts of wiping are places with wrinkles on the skin, such as neck, armpit, elbow and groin.
(3) Warm water bath: the water temperature is about 3℃-4℃ lower than the body temperature of the sick child, and each time is 5- 10 minute. Many parents think that babies can't take a bath if they have a fever. In fact, on the contrary, giving your baby a warm bath can help him cool down. Warm bath is suitable for all babies with fever.
(4) Low greenhouse method: Put the sick children in an environment with room temperature around 24℃, so that the body temperature will drop slowly. In order to keep the skin in contact with the outside air and cool down, it is necessary to wear less clothes. If conditions permit, air conditioning can be used to lower the room temperature. This method is suitable for babies under 1 month, especially in summer. As long as the baby's clothes are open and placed in a cool place, his body temperature will gradually drop. If the baby has a fever accompanied by chills and chills, you can't use the low greenhouse method.
(5) Antipyretic patch: Antipyretic patch is a new product in recent years and is very popular. In fact, the antipyretic effect is average, unlike advertising to exaggerate the effect. Sticking a sticker on the baby's forehead will make the baby's head more comfortable and the parents' heart more comfortable. It should be beneficial and harmless.
(6) Ice compress: The advantages and disadvantages of this method are still controversial. Some experts believe that ice compress does more harm than good, because ice compress may cause the baby's skin capillaries to contract, hinder heat dissipation, and the body temperature will be higher, especially with chills and chills. Ice compress is not allowed.
2. Drug therapy
If the baby's axillary temperature exceeds 38.2 degrees or is obviously inappropriate because of fever after physical cooling treatment, then drugs should be used to reduce the fever. It is recommended to use ibuprofen (such as Merrill Lynch) or acetaminophen (such as Tylenol), which are most widely used in pediatrics. Both of them are safe and effective antipyretic ingredients, which can help the baby to reduce fever quickly. In addition, due to the high proportion of water in the baby's body, dehydration is prone to occur when there is a fever. Therefore, parents must let their babies drink more boiled water.
3, daily care
Parents should take their children to public places less. Children's food should be strictly controlled, and tableware and toys should be disinfected frequently. After the weather turns cold, you should be careful when eating raw and cold food, and it is advisable to eat fruit half an hour after meals. At the same time, we should pay attention to keep warm, avoid catching cold and causing respiratory and digestive tract diseases, and reduce the body's resistance.
4. Diet therapy
In order to reduce the burden of digestive tract, the diet should be mainly starchy foods, such as millet porridge, rice porridge and batter. After diarrhea stops, children can be supplemented with nutrients lost due to diarrhea. For children with poor constitution, massage, massage and other physical therapy methods can also relieve diarrhea symptoms, increase the body's tolerance and shorten the course of disease.
Causes of recurrent fever in infants
If the baby has repeated fever, it may be because the course of the disease has not arrived and the course of treatment has not arrived. Generally, babies are infected with the virus, and the fever lasts for about 5 days. Good babies can have fever for less than 5 days.
If your baby has a high fever now, it usually indicates that the baby is in an emergency, with infection or inflammation. The diagnosis can be made by routine blood tests. Therefore, parents take their babies to children's hospital for routine blood tests and targeted treatment. When the disease is under control, the fever will go away.
Fever is only an auxiliary treatment in the whole treatment process, aiming at relieving symptoms and preventing febrile convulsions.
If the baby's temperature exceeds 38.5 degrees, it needs to be cooled with drugs. Tylenol or Merrill Lynch are commonly used as cooling drugs in children's hospitals. The interval between the two medications is 6-8 hours, and in less than 6-8 hours, the baby's body temperature will rise again, or it will be cooled physically. Before taking the medicine, you should take your temperature, and if it exceeds 38.5 degrees, you can use it again. Physical cooling parts: forehead, both sides of neck, both sides of armpit (summer) and both sides of groin. Warm water bath can reduce the temperature by 0.3-0.5 degrees. The baby will be much more comfortable.
Finally, if the baby has a fever like this for a long time, it is recommended to take the baby to see a doctor so that the baby can recover as soon as possible!
How to care for baby's fever?
1, don't cool down in a hurry.
First of all, don't rush to reduce the fever, find out the cause of the child's fever. Fever is not a disease, it sounds like a wake-up call to your body, reminding you that there is an abnormal situation inside your body. At the same time, fever is also a defensive measure for our body to deal with pathogenic microorganisms. To some extent, a proper fever is conducive to enhancing the body's resistance and eliminating pathogens. So if the child doesn't have a high fever, don't rush to reduce the fever immediately, otherwise it will hide the real cause.
There are many reasons why children have a fever. Upper respiratory tract infection, gastroenteritis, tonsillitis, pneumonia and all infectious diseases may have fever symptoms. In addition, babies under one year old may have a fever due to urinary tract infection, gastrointestinal diseases and hand, foot and mouth disease. Many cases must be judged by a doctor to know the real cause of fever.
2, the baby has a fever, do not mix drugs.
Whether to give children antipyretic drugs needs to weigh the pros and cons. Drugs can certainly improve the child's condition and make the baby comfortable; But it may also bring some side effects. The World Health Organization advises babies not to use any antipyretic drugs within 2 months. In general, drug antipyretic therapy is only applied to children with high fever. The method and dosage of taking must be in accordance with the doctor's requirements. We suggest that children should be given antipyretics when their body temperature exceeds 38.5 degrees Celsius. If your child has a history of febrile convulsions in the past, you may wish to give your child an antipyretic at 38 degrees Celsius.
In particular, many parents often give their children different kinds of antipyretics. Some anxious parents have been taking drugs orally for half an hour without reducing their fever, and they have also added suppositories. However, the persistence of various drugs is different, and mixed use may overlap the efficacy. As a result, the fever was too fierce and urgent, and the body temperature dropped below 36 degrees Celsius. New problems have arisen. Parents can choose an antipyretic and be familiar with its dosage and interval, so as to use it easily.
3. Do you wear more or less?
After the baby has a fever, there is often a question that makes parents hesitate: Should they wear more clothes to avoid shivering when they have a fever, or take off their clothes to help dissipate heat? In fact, adding and subtracting clothes should match the process of fever. When the set temperature rises and the body temperature begins to rise, the child will feel cold. At this time, long-sleeved and breathable thin shirts should be added, and antipyretics can be given. After taking the medicine for half an hour, the efficacy began to play, the set temperature decreased, the body began to get hot, and the child would sweat and feel hot. At this time, clothes should be reduced, or warm water bath should be used to help reduce fever.
Don't eat more eggs when the child has a fever.
After a child has a fever, he usually has a poor appetite. At this time, we should give priority to liquid, nutritious, light and digestible diets, such as milk, lotus root starch and vegetable soup with little oil. When the body temperature drops and the appetite improves, it can be changed to semi-liquid, such as minced meat porridge, noodles and soft rice with some digestible dishes. In addition, it is necessary to drink more warm water and increase the water content of tissues in the body, which has a stabilizing effect on body temperature and can avoid the rapid rise of body temperature again.
When children have a fever, many parents think that they should be supplemented with nutrition, so they give their children a lot of eggs rich in protein. In fact, this will not only reduce the body temperature, but also increase the body heat, which will promote the baby's body temperature to rise, which is not conducive to the child's early recovery.
