Experts remind: Don't blindly take antibiotics when your child has a fever
Children may have a high fever that lasts for 5~7 days after being infected with adenovirus. For many parents, their children are very anxious when they have a high fever, not to mention that they have a high fever for so many days, some will quickly take their children to the hospital, and some will take out antibiotics at home for their children to eat.
"Unlike bacterial infections, antibiotics are not effective against viral infections. So, if your child is infected with adenovirus, taking antibiotics is not effective. If it is a stream A or a stream, it is also invalid. Chief physician Hua Chunzhen, head of the Department of Infectious Diseases of Zhejiang University Children's Hospital, said that children with fever should not be blindly allowed to take antibiotics.
Recruit adenovirus, expert support
For children with adenovirus infection, they can be given antipyretic medicine, drink more water, rest more, and actively care for the symptoms.
: If your child has a history of cramps in the past, take antipyretics and medicines to prevent cramps if necessary.
For most immunocompetent children, adenovirus infection is self-limiting, and mild cases usually resolve spontaneously. If the disease worsens and develops into adenovirus pneumonia, it is necessary to take appropriate antiviral drugs under the guidance of a doctor, but the indications should be strictly grasped.
How to observe and care for children with fever
- If the child has a short-term fever and is in good spirits, parents can choose home care.
- If you have a fever for three days, you can go to the nearest medical institution for necessary examinations. If you want to know if you have adenovirus infection, you can do adenovirus antigen testing for respiratory secretions.
- If the fever is high for more than five days, further testing is needed to prevent the disease from progressing to pneumonia.
"On the premise of clarifying the cause, if the child's body temperature is relatively high, but there is a downward trend and the spirit is good, parents do not need to worry too much." Experts said that some indicators can be observed: "For example, the number of times you take antipyretic drugs is less, the interval between each heat peak is longer, and the heat peak value is lower, which is the trend of the child's improvement." ”
How to tell if your child may have progressed to pneumonia
Expert advice: At this time, you can focus on the child's cough, generally the mild patients with adenovirus infection are mainly symptoms of the upper respiratory tract, but if the high fever continues to do not go away, the adenovirus will invade downward, which will cause the child to cough violently, at this time, should go to the hospital in time to take a radiograph.
