There is a certain difference between a child's fever and an adult's fever, especially a newborn child, like a soldier who has never experienced a war, and the entire immune system is not activated at all. Therefore, proper fever is the largest mobilization of immune cell function for children, and once burned immunity will be improved! But modern parents like to kill their children. When it comes to fever, the first time I say that I am worried that my brain will burn out! Under normal circumstances, fever does not burn the brain, if you really burn the brain stupid, most of it is also caused by other diseases. However, if the body temperature continues to exceed 41 degrees, it will cause brain damage and you must seek medical attention in time!
Children have fever We need to pay more attention to a nursing process, because the child's own energy is very sufficient, so in the fever stage to avoid the intake of eggs and the like, you can eat more white radish, green onions, perilla, coriander, etc., to dissolve phlegm, relieve sweating, clear lungs and help digestion! In the process of fever, take the temperature every 1-2 hours, if the hands and feet are very warm, if the body also feels sweating, it means that the body temperature should drop, wear less and cover less, reduce the room temperature, avoid covering. Because children (especially children under 6 months) basically rely on the skin to dissipate heat, if you cover it, you may cover some problems. If the child has been asleep for a long time, and the hands and feet are cold, or there are febrile seizures and other basic medical history, it is recommended not to let the child sleep for too long, wake the child up in time to replenish some water, and let him sleep later!
The most common question now is, how many degrees to start using fever reducers? Some are medicated as soon as they are burned! I suggest changing the question to how many degrees is it better to burn to start cooling down? Instead of focusing on medication! Considering whether to cool down, children and adults, are basically about 38.5 ° C, but it is also not absolute. If it is not at this temperature, but there is already a lack of energy, wilting, muscle aches, etc., you should consider cooling; If it exceeds 38.5°C, but the state is still very good, there is no discomfort, there is no need to consider cooling. Of course, when it comes to about 40 ° C, you must consider cooling regardless of the state! And if you cool down, you can still use no medicine as much as possible, moxibustion and pushing the sky river water is a skill that I think as a mother should learn, because the growth of children is basically accompanied by cold, fever and diarrhea, and the medication is obviously killing the child's immunity! Focus on taking acupuncture points, body columns, lung Yu, Yongquan, Taixi, water spring, three yin intercourse, after moxibustion, massage the effect on the corresponding acupuncture points will be better, half the effort!
If the high fever caused by a cold in the middle of the night reaches 39.9 ° C or even 40 ° C, or 39 ° C has not been able to drop, you can try pure physical cooling: prepare warm water, close to the normal body temperature of the human body, that is, the water temperature between 36 ° C and 37 ° C can be, avoid the water is not too hot or too cold, must be controlled with a thermometer! Put the baby in warm water and dissipate the heat of the body into the water, usually between 15 minutes and half an hour, and the body temperature will drop significantly! This is a relatively simple and effective first aid method! Some other physical cooling such as rubbing alcohol, using ice packs, etc. are not recommended!
More dangerous are febrile seizures, which generally occur in children aged 6 months to 5 years, mostly on the first day of fever, often when the body temperature rises rapidly. The attack usually manifests as upturned eyes, stiff or twitching limbs, blue lips, closed teeth, etc.! Seizures are relatively short, mostly 3 to 5 minutes, generally no more than 15 minutes. It is possible to send your child to the hospital after the seizures have stopped, but if the child has had a persistent state of convulsions before, or if the convulsions have not stopped for more than 5 minutes, then be taken to the hospital immediately!
When febrile seizures occur, first place the child on a flat, less vulnerable floor or bed to avoid sharp things around and prevent the child from being accidentally injured during the seizures; Then loosen your child's collar and keep your child lying on the right side or tilt his head to the right to ensure smooth breathing and prevent vomit from being inhaled into the lungs when vomiting! Do not stuff anything into your child's mouth, including an adult's fingers, and do not try to bind or bind your child's limbs. During the seizure, do not move the child (unless the child is in danger), do not feed anything, medicine, water, pinching people and tiger mouth will not make much sense, can not be put in the water to cool down, generally parents are next to the child until fully awake and alert before considering medication or timely delivery to the hospital!
