First, experts what should I do if my baby has a fever?
Body temperature itself is not the real and most critical way to observe a child's illness. For adults, body temperature usually reflects the severity of the disease. This is not the case with children, because their bodies do not control the temperature perfectly. Some children have a fever of 40℃ when they are infected with minor diseases, and only 38.3℃ when they are infected with serious diseases. When a child has a fever, parents should observe his face, behavior and movements. A child with a temperature of 38.3℃ but an unusually quiet face may be more seriously ill than a child who can run around the house with a temperature of 39.4℃. If a child with a fever has the following symptoms, regardless of his temperature, he should seek a doctor's diagnosis.
1, keep crying, no matter who comes to comfort you, it's useless.
2, it is difficult to be awakened.
If someone wants to touch or touch a child, he will cry.
4. The neck is stiff and inflexible.
5, arms, thighs or other parts of the body appear uncontrollable twitch, spasm.
6. Unconscious, acting strangely, seeing or hearing things that don't exist, saying strange things or acting abnormally.
7. Breathing is accompanied by noise.

12, burning or painful when urinating.
13, bloody diarrhea in the stool.
Second, what kind of method can quickly reduce fever?
How do parents reduce the baby's fever at home before taking him to see a doctor? Comprehensive experts suggest that as parents, the correct way to reduce fever should be:
1, keep the air circulation at home:
If there is air conditioning at home, keep the room temperature at 25-27℃. You can put your child in an air-conditioned room, or use an electric fan to blow it around, so that the child's body temperature will drop slowly, so that the child will feel more comfortable. But if your limbs are cold and shivering, it means you need to keep warm, so cover the blanket.
2. Take off too many clothes:
If the baby's limbs, hands and feet are hot and sweating all over, it means that the heat needs to be dissipated, so you can wear less clothes.
3. Warm water bath:
Unbutton the baby's clothes and wipe the whole body with a towel dipped in warm water at 37℃. This will dilate the blood vessels in the baby's panel, release body gas, and absorb body heat when water vapor evaporates from the body surface.
4. Use antipyretic stickers:
Helps to dissipate heat, but it is not recommended for younger children. Because children are not easy to turn their bodies, ice pillows are easy to cause local supercooling or hypothermia. You can also use antipyretic stickers. When the water in the colloidal substance of antipyretic paste evaporates, it can take away the heat without excessive cooling.
5. Drink plenty of water:
Helps to sweat and prevent dehydration. Water has the function of regulating temperature, which can lower the body temperature and replenish the water lost in the baby.
6. Use antipyretics:
When the baby's central body temperature, anal temperature or ear temperature exceeds 38.5℃, it is appropriate to use warm water or suppository.
Third, how to use antipyretics correctly
Of course, the most convenient and quick way to reduce fever is to use antipyretics, and every baby must keep antipyretics at home in case of emergency to avoid a temporary fever in the middle of the night. The use of antipyretics is skillful and principled. When and how to use antipyretics, we should have a correct concept at ordinary times, so that the effect will not be bad or even the fever will get out of control.
Antipyretic drugs include aqua, lozenge, suppository and injection. Generally, aqua is mild, and syrup containing paracetamol is most commonly used, such as Xiaoer Meilin syrup and Xiaoer Baifuning drops. Aspirin buccal tablets have good antipyretic effect, but some specific virus infections, such as chicken pox or flu, may lead to Reye's syndrome, so it is not suitable for use.
Suppositories are used to plug * * *, which is absorbed through the rectum and takes effect quickly. Even if children refuse to take medicine, it is convenient to reduce fever, but it is better to take a small amount. Intensive use is easy to cause excessive fever, sharp drop in body temperature, or repeated * * * * *, causing diarrhea. It is the most unsafe to take antipyretic injections, and some children may even go into anaphylactic shock. There are many ways to reduce fever, which can definitely reduce the temperature. Parents don't have to lose big because of small things.
Different antipyretics should not be used together at will, because the dosage is not easy to control and it is safer to use alone. In addition, antipyretics should not be taken in batches or in larger doses to enhance the antipyretic effect. Be sure to remember that "medicine is poisonous". Any medicine, including antipyretics, has its own usage. Eating too much will be toxic. Many parents give their children too many antipyretics because they are eager to love their children. As a result, their children have a worse fever instead of a fever, because one of the toxic reactions of antipyretics is to raise their body temperature.
In short, the baby has a high fever, so parents don't have to be more and more nervous. Just follow the above suggestions, observe the baby's activities, replenish water, and moderately reduce the fever if necessary. Most of the body temperature can be lowered, and the baby will be taken to the doctor the next day.
Fourth, how to deal with spasms and cramps caused by fever?
Some children suddenly have a high fever, and there will be febrile convulsions: the body becomes stiff, the eyes turn left and right, and the arms, head and neck twitch. This symptom often appears in the first 24 hours of fever, usually lasting less than 4 minutes, and usually appears in children between 6 months and 5 years old.
This situation is very terrible. Parents can take the following measures:
When the child is convulsing, let him lie flat on the bed or carpeted floor to ensure that he will not touch any sharp, sharp or hard objects.
Let the child lie on his side, let him breathe smoothly, and prevent saliva or vomit from blocking the trachea.
Don't try to get your child to talk. Children who have spasms due to fever or other reasons are not in danger of biting their tongues.
If the attack lasts more than 4 minutes, you should go to the hospital immediately; If it's less than 4 minutes, you can wait for the child to feel better and have a little rest before going to the hospital.
If the child has febrile convulsion before, it is likely to recur. At this time, when the child shows signs of fever again, he should immediately and decisively give antipyretic drugs and continue to take them every 4 to 6 hours to curb high fever. However, this usually does not cause brain damage and has nothing to do with epilepsy.
5. Is there an age difference in seeing a doctor with fever?
To what extent does the child have a fever before he needs to see a doctor immediately? The following are some common standards. Of course, if you are not at ease, you can take your child to the hospital as soon as you find that he has a fever.
Please go to the hospital immediately when the child's temperature reaches the following degrees.
37.9℃ within 3 months
3 to 6 months 38.3℃
6 to 24 months 39.4℃
2 years old, 40℃
Note: If the child's body temperature is higher than 37℃ in the middle of the night, but it does not reach the value listed above, you can wait until the morning to make a decision.
Sixth, what should the baby eat if he has a fever?
Some parents think that a baby's fever will consume a lot of physical strength, so they can't wait to provide their baby with a lot of nutritious and high-calorie food. In fact, a baby with a high fever must evaporate heat energy in the form of sweating and take in enough water. Therefore, what a baby with a fever needs most is not food, but water. During the fever, the baby's digestive system is dysfunctional, which slows down the gastrointestinal peristalsis, and the baby usually loses appetite. If the baby is forced to eat, it will lead to vomiting and diarrhea.
Babies who cough a lot of phlegm often swallow it into their stomachs because they don't cough. Severe coughing can also cause stomach upset. If they eat too much, they tend to vomit. Therefore, parents should pay special attention to prevent children from overeating and eating seafood or dishes that are too salty, too sweet and too greasy, so as not to cause allergies or respiratory tract and aggravate symptoms. However, the baby should not blindly avoid eating during the fever to prevent the baby from malnutrition and decreased resistance.
During the baby's fever, it is suitable for a small number of meals, mainly light and digestible liquid or semi-liquid foods, such as lotus root starch, milk powder substitutes, porridge, egg custard and noodle soup.
