Children have persistent high fevers

Data shows that each child has a high fever probability of 4-6 times per year. Fever is a normal physiological phenomenon. As long as the fever is reduced in time, it will not have any adverse effects on the growth of young children. However, if the fever is not reduced in time, it is very likely to cause various side effects, especially having a greater impact on intellectual development. In short, if a child in the family has a fever, you should pay close attention to him/her, always pay attention to his/her body temperature, and find ways to help the child reduce the fever in time.

For many parents, the most difficult thing in life is when their children get sick. There is no way out. As parents, we have to watch our children suffer from illness and be powerless to do anything. It is such a painful feeling.

A friend said that every time her child had a fever, she and her husband dared not close their eyes all night. Since the beginning of summer, her child's body temperature has often fluctuated between 38℃ and 40℃, but there was nothing abnormal when she went to the hospital for a check-up. But we can't just let the child have a fever. We have tried all kinds of methods, such as fever-reducing patches, medicines, and intravenous drips, but the child still has irregular fever. In desperation, I had to take my child to the Provincial Children's Hospital for treatment. After a series of examinations, the doctor told her that her child was suffering from heat stroke and that antipyretic drugs were not recommended.

Usually, children suffering from heat stroke will have irregular fever for a long time. The specific manifestation is that the child's body temperature rises or falls with the changes in indoor and outdoor temperatures. In addition, children who usually don't like drinking water suddenly drink a lot of water and urinate more frequently every day. It is also accompanied by cold symptoms such as sneezing and runny nose. Since no abnormalities are usually found during examination, it is easily treated as a cold or fever.

But as long as it is a disease, there must be a cause. The reason why children suffer from heatstroke in summer is mainly because their central nervous system has not yet fully developed and the function of their sweat glands is not yet fully sound. But because the little guy is very active, his metabolism is very active. This contradiction results in poor temperature regulation on hot days, and the heat in the child's body cannot be dissipated.

If your child accidentally suffers from heatstroke, don't be too anxious. You may try taking the following small measures: Lower the indoor temperature. When you find that your child continues to have a fever, parents should not dress him in too thick clothes or cover him with thick quilts. This will not only be detrimental to heat dissipation, but will aggravate the condition. In addition, you can lower the indoor temperature appropriately and keep the air circulating. However, it should be noted that the air conditioner temperature should not be adjusted too low, and try to avoid blowing the air outlet towards the child's body. At the same time, be sure to let your child drink plenty of water in time to avoid dehydration.

Warm water bath or sponge bath You can often bathe your child with warm water or warm water sponge bath at home. This is also very helpful for cooling and dissipating heat. However, it should be noted that the water temperature should be slightly lower than the child's body temperature, generally 32-36 degrees warm water is sufficient. In addition to these, you should also pay attention to your child’s diet being light and easy to digest.

At the same time, take in a certain amount of vitamins B and C. Try to keep your children out during the hottest part of the day.
