What to do if your child has a fever and a fast heartbeat

For children, even the smallest illness needs to be taken seriously. For example, if a child’s fever is not treated in time, it is likely to affect the brain. Some children's heartbeats will speed up after they have a fever. This is mainly because the children have weak constitutions and low immunity. Therefore, if a child has a fever and a fast heartbeat, parents must pay attention to it. So, what should we do if our child has a fever and a rapid heartbeat?

Children's fever and rapid heartbeat are common diseases in daily life. Children are usually more likely to have a fever when their immunity is low, and a fever will cause their heartbeat to accelerate. Not only that, children with more serious illnesses may even experience breathing difficulties, convulsions, coughing, sore throat, etc.

If you do not pay attention to your diet and daily habits, you are more likely to get sick, especially infants and children. Moreover, many young parents nowadays lack experience in taking care of children, which leads to low immunity in children and causes fever.

When children have a fever and a rapid heartbeat, parents should not panic too much. They can take some ibuprofen suspension or acetaminophen suspension orally, which are effective. As the child's body temperature slowly drops, the symptoms of rapid heartbeat will gradually ease. However, parents must pay special attention to their children's body temperature when giving medicine. Ibuprofen suspension or acetaminophen suspension can only be taken when the body temperature exceeds 38 degrees.

If the child's temperature does not exceed 38 degrees when he has a fever, it is recommended to take physical cooling measures, such as wiping the body with ethanol, ice packs, etc. Of course, parents can also buy some cooling patches on their own, put them in the refrigerator for 10 to 20 minutes and then stick them directly on the forehead, which is effective in helping children with mild fever to cool down. In addition, parents should pay special attention if their children have a rapid heartbeat and sore throat when they have a fever. Then, you can take some medicines that clear heat, detoxify, and relieve throat pain for treatment, such as honeysuckle granules, houttuynia oral liquid, or isatis root, etc., the effects are all good.

If a child's fever is accompanied by convulsions or even seizures, he or she must go to a regular specialist hospital as soon as possible for detailed examination and treatment. You should know that if the symptoms of fever, rapid heartbeat, convulsions and seizures are not relieved in time, it will indirectly lead to acute meningitis. Therefore, parents should pay attention to it. If the above symptoms occur, they must seek medical attention as soon as possible.
