What to do if your child has a fever but does not sweat

For parents, the most worrying issue is their children getting sick. However, children's body resistance is not strong and their organs are not mature, so they are easily invaded by external forces, especially common colds and fevers, which make parents particularly anxious. If the child's fever does not exceed 38 degrees, you can observe the fever at home and let it go. Drinking more water and sweating will relieve the fever. But what should you do if the child does not sweat when he has a fever?

Distinguish whether it is wind-cold or wind-heat by using the temperature of the palms and soles of feet

Touch the soles of your hands and feet. If they feel cold, it is a cold. At this time, it will be difficult for the baby to sweat, but because it is a cold, you cannot cool the baby down by not covering him with a blanket to let him dissipate heat. In this case, the baby will feel cold. If the palms and soles of the feet are hot, it is a wind-heat cold. Just let the baby vent the heat to cool down. No need to sweat. Otherwise, it is easy to make the baby weak due to sweating + cold. It will take a long time to make up for this weakness.

What to do if your child has a fever but does not sweat

Drink plenty of water

If you have a cold, drink more warm water. The water temperature should be below 40 degrees (parents can try to make the water slightly hot). Drink 200 ml every half hour and ensure that the urine is clear. If you have a wind-heat cold, you can drink some boiled water, wear less clothes, keep cool and avoid being blown by the wind;

Taking temperature

If the fever is just a low-grade fever around 37 degrees, you don't need to take medicine, but you should always observe whether there are other symptoms besides fever. If the temperature is higher than 37.5, please use cooling patches, oral antibiotics and Chinese medicine. It is recommended that you buy some Chinese medicine decoctions or directly buy finished Chinese medicine for wind-heat colds, and choose Chinese medicine that clears heat and promotes bowel movements (most wind-heat is accompanied by abdominal distension and constipation, which will make the baby very uncomfortable. Only defecation and fire-clearing can reduce the temperature);

Ensure vitamin intake

If your baby has a fever but does not sweat, in order to help him get better quickly, eat some fruits so that he can take in more vitamins to promote recovery from the cold. It is better to choose fruits that clear heat, such as melons, pears, kiwis, grapefruits, etc.

Ensure protein intake

You can eat some eggs, tofu, fish, shrimp, etc., but not too much. Don't give your child the so-called nourishing broth, as this will make the baby sweat and the cold will become more and more serious. Light boiled eggs, fried shrimps and tomatoes with some soy products are all fine. Tomatoes can stimulate appetite and are rich in vitamin C, making them a good pairing dish.

There is nothing you can't eat

Apart from a light diet, there is nothing that you cannot eat. Of course, if there are dietary restrictions on Chinese medicine, just make sure not to eat that type of food one hour before and after taking the medicine. Of course, it is also possible that the baby has a poor appetite, so make some sweet and sour dishes. Don't give the baby porridge and pickles just because he has no appetite. It will be difficult to restore the healthy body before the illness.

You can soak your feet properly

If the child is older and does not sweat, he or she can soak the feet to promote sweating, but the time should not be too long. Make sure it is done within half an hour. After soaking, dry the feet and put on thick socks. Wait for a few hours and soak again to make sure the feet are warm.

Precautions

If the fever persists, please seek medical attention immediately to avoid inducing other diseases!
