✨ Children suddenly have a fever, the most worried is to be a parent, although they know that the child's fever is inevitable on the road to growth, but every fever still makes the old mother raise her heart to her throat. But the more we get to this point, the less we can panic.
When it is felt that the child has ❓ a fever
Feeling that the child may have a fever again, our first step is to measure the temperature, which needless to say many mothers understand.
So how many degrees of body temperature should I bring to the doctor?
My personal experience [judging by the child's state and body temperature]
♦️A: If the child's body temperature has reached 38.5 degrees and above, he should see a doctor immediately and take medicine under the guidance of a doctor. Especially infants and young children can easily affect the development of the brain and organs if they do not see a doctor in time
♦️B: The child's body temperature is below 38.5 degrees, which should be divided into two situations.
(1) The child is alive and has good spirits, and if there is no other performance, you can first give him physical cooling home observation, and if there is no fever for 24 hours, you still have to take it to see.
(2) Very poor mental state, lethargy, irritability, crying, etc., should be seen immediately.
During the baby's fever, parents must pay attention to these 8 points, especially the last 1 point, must remember!
✅ (1) Take the child's temperature at any time, observe the child's mental state, and arrange a doctor immediately if the body temperature continues to rise or is abnormal
✅ (2) Give your child water in time, but some children are reluctant to drink water when they have a fever, so it doesn't matter to give him a small amount of water many times
✅ (3) Timely replenishment of energy, sick appetite is very normal, when the child is not willing to eat dishes, do not force him, but can not not eat, at this time, we can make some liquid food for the child, such as: light porridge, multigrain paste
✅ (4) To do physical cooling for children, in addition to pasting fever stickers and applying fever gel, we can also wipe with warm water
✅ (5) Don't be hot, maybe the elderly at home will advocate hot sweating, but this is not right, to dissipate heat for the child in time, it is difficult for the child to emit heat
✅ (6) To ensure adequate sleep, do not wake up the child frequently when the child is asleep
✅ (7) If the child's hands and feet are cold, it means that the child's body temperature is rising, and the child should be rubbed hot
✅ (8) This is very important, parents must pay attention! About feeding fever medicine
❌Do not use more than 4 times in 24 hours!
❌ It cannot be reused (e.g. if you use food, you don't need to stuff it)
❌ Do not eat more as directed by your doctor!
If you really don't know what to do, don't be too flustered, take it to the hospital immediately to see the doctor, you must not know how to pretend to understand, delay the child's condition.
As a mother, you must do both parenting and growth! ❤️
