Treatment of fever in two-year-old baby

When the baby has a fever, mothers are easily anxious like ants on hot bricks. But in fact, as long as the baby's fever does not exceed 38.5 degrees, you can try physical cooling methods for him at home, such as taking a warm bath, ice on his forehead and drinking more water. Do you know that?/You know what? Do you know that?/You know what? When a baby under 3 years old has a fever, physical cooling is usually the first choice to avoid using antipyretic needles or drugs to prevent collapse or drug poisoning.

Objective assessment of body temperature

When the baby's temperature is high, don't worry, evaluate objectively. Did you just take a hot bath? Is it too hot, wearing too much or poor indoor ventilation? Or just finished drinking hot drinks? After half an hour, the body temperature usually fluctuates at 1 ~ 1.5℃.

Are you going to the hospital?

After eliminating some reasons, consider whether to send it to the hospital. If the baby's temperature is 38 ~ 38.5℃, his mental state is good, and his eating, sleeping and playing are normal, there is no need to rush to the hospital or take medicine.

Moderate use of antipyretics

When the baby has a fever of 38.5 ~ 39℃, antipyretics can be used moderately to relieve the baby's discomfort and parents' anxiety and prevent heat spasm. However, if the baby has a history of febrile spasm, it needs active treatment.

First aid for high fever

Once the body temperature reaches above 40. 1℃, it must be treated urgently. If the baby's body temperature is too high, physical cooling measures should be taken in time, such as warm water bath soaking and forehead ice compress, to avoid nervous system damage caused by high fever.
