Nursing measures

Many people like to use heat to reduce fever when the baby is feverish, but it is extremely dangerous to do so, the baby's thermoregulation center is immature, and it is easy to cause high temperature convulsions due to a sharp rise in body temperature. So what is the right thing to do? You should help your baby reduce clothing in moderation to help you dissipate heat.

Increasing hydration is also necessary, babies who are exclusively breastfed can increase the frequency of feeding, and babies who are formula-fed or have supplementary foods should be fed warm boiled water in small quantities and multiple times. Prevents dehydration.
4 Increase the number of temperature measurements
Normally, we recommend giving your baby a temperature twice a day, but during the baby's fever period, sisters should increase the frequency of measurement. Keep it once every hour, and if you take antipyretic drugs, take a retake of your body temperature every half an hour.
Sisters should pay attention, once the baby's body temperature exceeds 38.5, it needs to seek medical treatment [rose]
