The baby has a repeated high fever of over 39 degrees

Many parents are troubled by children's persistent fever. If not handled properly, it may lead to the child's death or sequelae, such as epilepsy. Children with high fever may suffer from dehydration, electrolyte imbalance, acidosis, etc. If the child is in a persistent state, it will cause so many harms. I believe that most children have experienced persistent high temperature. After taking antipyretics, the body temperature has not dropped. What are the dangers of a child's persistent high fever of 39 degrees?

Steps/Methods:

1. If a child has a persistent high fever of 39 degrees and does not replenish water in time, it is easy to cause dehydration. Dehydration will not only make it difficult to reduce fever, but also affect the body's blood circulation, slow down the metabolism, and easily cause acidosis. Therefore, children must drink more water during high fever, or receive infusion under the guidance of a doctor.

2. If a child's body temperature continues to be high at 39 degrees, it will decompose the protein in the body, which can easily cause cerebral edema and lead to death or brain sequelae. Therefore, once the temperature exceeds 39 degrees, you must actively go to the hospital for treatment and take appropriate methods to reduce the fever to prevent sequelae.

3. Continuous high fever can easily cause convulsions in children, but the convulsions do not last long. If handled properly, they will not have much impact on the child's health. However, repeated or continuous convulsions can cause brain hypoxia and damage the brain, and can easily cause epilepsy, which must be taken seriously by us.

Note:

Once a child's body temperature exceeds 38.5 degrees, he or she should go to the hospital for medical treatment in time to prevent the sequelae of high fever to the body. Children should drink more water to appropriately improve their resistance.
