How does feverish foot cold return a responsibility?

summary

At the beginning of fever, the central body temperature begins to rise, and most of them reach the peak in a few hours. This period is called the rising period of body temperature. The development of the nervous system in infants is not perfect, and the nerves responsible for vasoconstriction and relaxation are prone to dysfunction in the period of rising body temperature, which leads to the spasmodic contraction of small blood vessels at the end of infants' limbs, so the hands and feet are cold. In order to avoid this situation, let's talk about fever and cold feet?.

How does feverish foot cold return a responsibility?

First: temperature rise period: when the child's hands and feet are cold, and the armpit, forehead, mouth and other parts are hot, it should be suspected that it is a fever. Suggestion: "keep the ends warm". You can feed warm water, put socks on your children, or soak your feet in hot water to improve the circulation of the ends. This period will not last too long, it indicates that the child's temperature is rising, usually 1-2 hours will occur high fever, parents should pay attention to monitor the temperature changes.

Second: persistent high fever: at this time, children will feel very hot and uncomfortable. Suggestion: drink enough water to relieve children's discomfort. When the temperature exceeds 38.5 degrees, children can take oral antipyretic drugs, such as acetaminophen or ibuprofen. However, the guidelines issued by the American Academy of Pediatrics suggest that fever can limit the growth and reproduction of pathogens, which is a beneficial mechanism against infection. It is suggested that clinicians and parents should focus on how to make children feel comfortable instead of rushing to make children's body temperature return to normal. If the child spirit is good, even if fever, also do not need to use antipyretic drugs immediately.

Third: antipyretic period: children sweat more at this time. Suggestions: parents should closely observe whether the children have serious discomfort, drink more water, and timely supplement electrolytes (such as oral rehydration salts), so as to avoid dehydration, circulatory disorders or electrolyte disorders. Parents should closely observe the temperature changes of babies with a history of febrile convulsions, actively reduce fever, and use anticonvulsant drugs under the guidance of doctors when necessary.
