Babies up to the age of six often have a fever, especially when they are two or three years old, and parents are worried whenever their baby has a fever. Luckily we live in an age where medicine is brilliant and medical equipment is advanced.
I don't know who is so smart to invent a medical thermometer this kind of thing, medical thermometer is a tool to measure the body temperature, whether it is an adult child if you feel the body heat, use the thermometer to measure it, a few minutes after you can know whether the body temperature is rising, there is no fever, thermometer is often prepared at home.
We have thermometers in modern times can be measured, in ancient times, do not use the thermometer how to know the baby fever? In ancient times, fever means fever, Chinese medicine is concerned about the look, smell, ask, cut, diagnosis is also rely on this, in the end, how is a look, smell, ask and cut it?
1. Look, the baby fever is generally flushed, if the baby's face and before compared to the big change, parents will also know. But many babies' little faces are also red when they first wake up from sleep, so there are other symptoms to go along with it. It also depends on the baby's mental state, if the fever is high the baby's spirit is definitely not good.
2. Smell, smell the baby's body there is no odor, to see if it is the source of the cause of disease. In fact, mothers who often bring children know that if the baby has a fever, the breath will also be tasteless, there will be a kind of sour and rancid taste.
3. Ask, ask, is able to ask a lot of things, such as whether the baby has recently eaten any febrile food, there is no constipation, dry mouth, sore throat, etc., there is no dizziness, fever usually feel very tired and have dizziness symptoms.
4. Cut, is to take the pulse, but in the lazy mom's opinion, this should be included in the palpation, touch to see the baby's forehead, palms, feet there is no heat. If the baby is still breastfeeding, as long as the breastfeeding mom can feel, because after the baby has a fever, the oral temperature will also rise, when eating milk nipples will have a hot feeling, and usually is completely different.
No matter what time it is, the diagnosis certainly can't rely on one symptom alone, but also in combination with other symptoms, if it is a doctor then it is more experienced. But in ancient times there was no antipyretic medicine, and symptoms like fever in babies were usually balanced by the use of some cold medicines to bring the body temperature to equilibrium.
Even if we live in modern times, a baby's fever can keep us up all night, worrying, living in ancient times, if there is any dizziness and body heat that can be a serious illness ah, compared to us is really happy too much.
