My child has a fever, what conditions do I need to see a doctor?
1. The child burns relatively high, and then the mental state is very poor, and the diet is not good (that is, can not eat, can not play).
The mental state is very poor, which refers to the fact that the child is relatively poor. Like a child who usually loves to play, now I suddenly always want to sleep, and sometimes I can't wake up at all.
2. Fever is accompanied by other symptoms. If there is a severe cough; persistent vomiting, after vomiting can not drink water, can not eat; diarrhea; convulsions.
3. If you have been fever for two or three days, the body temperature still has no downward trend, although the child's state is ok, but also to the hospital to come to the doctor, to find the reason.
If your child has a fever, how to eat antipyretic medicine?
(The consequences of indiscriminate eating of fever-reducing drugs are very serious)
1. Which fever reducer is safer?
We have to choose safe and effective antipyretic drugs for our children. In fact, no drug is absolutely safe, and there are two main types of infant and young child antipyretic drugs recommended by the World Health Organization and pediatricians: acetaminophen and ibuprofen. Mom and Dad can choose according to the baby's age and specific circumstances.
2. When can I take antipyretic medicine?
It is usually recommended that the axillary temperature exceeds 38.5 ° C, and the child can be given oral antipyretics. Of course, this temperature is not an absolute value, it is more about the child's mental state and whether he feels comfortable. If, for example, he is 37.8 ° C, he feels that his body is painful, very uncomfortable, very uncomfortable, then at this time, it is also possible to give antipyretic drugs. The effect of this antipyretic drug is not only to reduce fever, it also has the effect of analgesicizing the child, that is, to make him more comfortable.
So the role of antipyretic drugs: one is to cool down; the other is to make the child comfortable.
note! Any medication should be used under the guidance of a doctor or in strict accordance with the instructions.
If the next time you use the medicine, your child has a fever again, you can physically cool your child down, remember not to use fever reducers too frequently or in excess. Failure to do so could have serious consequences.
How to do physical cooling?

If your child has a fever, how to hydrate and eat in time?
Many babies with fever will feel uncomfortable because of their bodies, and then they do not like to drink water and eat very much. But parents and friends should know that in fact, when the child has a fever, the amount of water required is more than usual. Drinking plenty of water is also good for reducing fever.
For babies that are small and one month old, mom and dad can give more milk. For older children, parents can give some coconut water, or lemonade, flavored water, and children may be more willing to drink.
When fever, the baby's digestive system function is weakened, diet to give the baby some easy to digest nutrient food, eat less and more meals, but also avoid eating too much, so as not to increase the burden on the intestine. Cooking some porridge or making some chicken soup for children is also a good choice.
What should I do if my child has a febrile seizure?
In the process of high fever, some children may have impaired consciousness, closed teeth, eyes rolled up and stared, and then the limbs twitched there. Then this convulsion is what we usually call "febrile convulsions". So how do we deal with it?
We must do the following four "don'ts"!
1. Do not forcibly press your child's limbs
2. Do not feed medicine or water into your mouth
3. Don't stuff your fingers or anything in your mouth.
4. Don't pinch people or tiger mouths
