The most effective way to reduce fever for baby in summer.

The temperature is high in summer. What should the baby do if he has a fever at this time? Don't worry, this article introduces some ways to deal with your baby's summer fever. Below 39℃, it can be handled at home.

Babies are prone to fever in summer, so parents should never take it lightly. Because the weather is very hot, many children often sweat and blush. Don't think this is all caused by the heat in summer. As long as the child doesn't want to eat and is too lazy to move, it is necessary to doubt whether he has a fever, and measure it with a thermometer. Once he has a fever, he should pay attention to it and find out the reason in time.

Clinically, babies with sudden high fever in summer should pay special attention to the occurrence of infectious diseases and go to the hospital for diagnosis in time.

Below 39℃, it can be handled at home.

But the most common fever in summer is upper respiratory tract infection, which usually leads to sneezing, chills, cough, headache and other symptoms. If the fever is not high, it will be below 39℃, and in most cases it can be treated at home.

Once the child is found to have a fever, as long as it is clear that it is exogenous fever, there is no need to go to the hospital often.

Due to the concentration of patients in the hospital, it is likely to cause cross-infection and aggravate the condition. Taking care of children with fever at home is both important and necessary for the recovery of the disease.

In fact, fever is a defensive reaction of the body, which is not only conducive to destroying invading germs, but also conducive to the normal growth and development of children. Children with fever should drink plenty of water to detoxify. Under normal circumstances, the body temperature does not exceed 38.5℃, mainly due to physical cooling, and there is no need to use drugs to reduce fever.

Cooling method

Below 38.5℃, you don't need antipyretic treatment, unbutton your clothes, take off your coat, and wipe your child with warm water to dissipate heat. When you have a high fever (above 39℃), you should reduce the fever under the guidance of a doctor.

Infants and young children's central nervous system is immature, so they can't wear more clothes and sweat as adults to lower their body temperature when they have a fever. On the contrary, the more you cover, the higher your body temperature will be. After a long period of hot cover, the child's body temperature will rise to 465,438+0℃-43℃, which is easy to cause "hot cover syndrome".

Never wipe a child's body with alcohol. Alcohol can easily dilate blood vessels, reduce blood volume and cause shock.

Generally speaking, only when the body temperature is higher than 38.5℃ and the baby feels uncomfortable, should he consider taking medicine to cool down. However, due to the confusion of the current medical system, it is very common to take medicine casually. Here are some good ways to reduce the baby's fever.

How to use drugs to reduce fever in children

Use antipyretics only when the body temperature is higher than 38.5℃.

Aspirin has an exciting effect, so children under 3 years old do not advocate using it.

Don't take antipyretics repeatedly. When taking several antipyretics at the same time, we should pay attention to whether the ingredients are the same, otherwise there may be overdose.

Clinically, it is found that some children's body temperature rises rapidly when they have a fever, and their body temperature is also very high. Infants and young children are prone to sudden high fever of 40℃, and often have convulsions due to high fever, such as loss of consciousness, fixed or upturned eyes, head and neck tilt back, facial muscles and limb convulsions and other critical symptoms. When the fever is above 40℃, it is really easy to cause brain damage. Therefore, when children's high fever is above 38.5℃, if physical cooling can't solve the problem, corresponding drug antipyretic measures should be taken.

However, it is worth parents' attention that the use of antipyretics should not be excessive, and sometimes parents will be "anxious to cool down", thinking that more drugs can quickly cool down. In fact, when taking too much, it often leads to too severe drug reactions. For example, the British government recently issued a drug warning: 69 common cold medicines contain 15 ingredients that may cause side effects, which may "cause allergic reactions, lead to hallucinations and interfere with sleep", and children may even die after taking them.

Therefore, experts believe that when giving antipyretics to children, the measurement must be accurate, especially to avoid excessive fever.

Home care should pay attention to the following points

1, dietotherapy: Chinese medicine has always paid attention to dietotherapy, and a proper diet can play an auxiliary role.

2. Traditional Chinese medicine treatment: According to the principle of syndrome differentiation and treatment of traditional Chinese medicine, it is generally effective to apply pungent and cool drugs or heat-clearing drugs in summer.

3, lower body temperature: the application of antipyretics, once every four hours, drink warm water after taking the medicine. Exogenous fever is mainly sweating, and ice packs should be used as little as possible.

4. Children with fever consume a lot of calories and lose a lot of water. They should rest properly and drink plenty of water. When sweating too much, add a little salt to the water to supplement the electrolyte. Give light and digestible food. Indoor temperature and humidity should be appropriate.

Note: Unless the situation is really quite special, doctors are forbidden to inject liquids at will.
