How does Xiao Bao always have a fever at night?
Many parents will use the method of "covering sweat" when their children have a fever, thinking that as long as the baby realizes a body of sweat, the fever can be reduced. Li Dongfang, deputy director of pediatrics at Sun Yat Sen Memorial Hospital of Sun Yat sen University, pointed out that this kind of practice is not allowed. Children with high fever tend to have poor limb circulation and feel cold hands and feet. Parents mistakenly think that children's cold hands and feet are not enough to wear, and then cover their children with thick clothes. In addition, children's sweat glands are underdeveloped and cover their sweat with fever. The more they cover their hands and feet, the hotter they are. It is easy to cause "cover heat syndrome" and induce febrile convulsions.
When the baby has a fever, we must pay attention to monitor the baby's body temperature and deal with it in different stages. In the rising period of body temperature, the baby with fever feels cold. At this time, it is not suitable to wipe the body with cold water. Drink more water and apply antipyretic paste or ice to the head. If the baby has cold hands and feet, keep them warm and improve the peripheral circulation;
In the continuous high fever period, the baby feels very hot, can take ice on the head or warm water bath, drink plenty of water to urinate, sweat, warm water bath, etc; If the body temperature is over 38.5 degrees, you can take the safe antipyretic for children; In the antipyretic period, the baby sweating more, should pay attention to add water, timely change sweat wet underwear pants.
