How does child cold have a fever to do
summary
Parents are often anxious about their baby's fever. They always want to turn to the doctor immediately for fear that the fever will burn the baby's mind. In fact, many concepts and practices are wrong. It is the most correct to know the cause of the fever and then prescribe the right medicine to the case!
How does child cold have a fever to do
First: observe the baby's condition. If the baby has a slight fever of about 38 degrees, but the mental condition is still very good, you don't need to rush to take the baby to see a doctor immediately. You can take care of the baby first at home. You don't need to take antipyretic drugs for the baby. You only need to provide liquid food and water. Judge the cause of the fever according to the baby's symptoms. If you still don't know, you can call the relevant unit. If the baby complains to the parents that he is very uncomfortable, or the temperature is higher than 39 degrees, then consider taking antipyretic medicine for the baby. But after eating the antipyretic medicine, no matter whether it is effective or not, we must see a doctor again. Otherwise, the fever of 38 degrees is generally around. It is suggested that no antipyretic measures should be taken to make the baby recover naturally, which can enhance the baby's resistance.
Second: the use of drugs, when the baby is very uncomfortable, you can give the baby antipyretic drugs, but if the parents go to the pharmacy to buy proprietary drugs, they must ask the dosage and then use it again. If they still can't handle it, they can take the baby for medical treatment. What parents care most about is whether the doctor prescribes antipyretic drugs and how effective the drugs are. These are all wrong. Parents should ask the doctor about the cause of the baby's fever, how long the fever may last, and what conditions they should see again. This is what parents should pay attention to and understand when dealing with the baby's fever.
Third: medical knowledge. Parents should be more involved in medical knowledge on weekdays. It's better to check the symptoms first when they encounter a situation. Parents can look for relevant information through the Internet or books to take care of their baby at home. Many foreign countries have done a good job in health education. When the baby is sick or has a fever, they rarely take the baby to see a doctor, because they know that fever is not a major disease. However, domestic health education knowledge is relatively insufficient, and parents are easy to absorb more medical knowledge when the baby is in a condition, which can avoid these situations.
matters needing attention
1. The dosage should not be too large, and the taking time should not be too long. 2. Drink more boiled water during medication to facilitate the absorption and excretion of drugs and reduce the toxicity of drugs to children. 3. Children under 3 years old with immature liver and kidney should not take paracetamol orally or by injection. 4. Children or their family members with a history of antipyretic allergy should not take antipyretic drugs. 5. Antipyretic drugs should not be taken together with alkaline drugs, such as baking soda, aminophylline, etc., otherwise the antipyretic effect will be reduced.
