When the baby has a fever, it is necessary to consider whether there is infection, to clarify what the primary disease is, and to clarify which part of the infection is the infection of viruses, bacteria or other pathogens. It is most important to carry out effective anti-infection treatment for infection. In addition, there are some non-infectious factors in some febrile diseases, so we should actively find the primary disease and carry out active cause and symptomatic treatment.
If the child's fever does not exceed 38.5℃, it is recommended to only use physical cooling, but if it exceeds 38.5℃ or the child has a history of convulsions, antipyretics should be used in time. Parents had better choose acetaminophen (Baifuning, Tylenol, etc.) and ibuprofen (Merrill Lynch, etc.), which are the most widely used and have high clinical safety.
1 Although the two kinds of antipyretics mentioned in the preface belong to two different types, their functions are both antipyretic and analgesic. When taking it, we should pay attention to the difference between the two dosage forms: acetaminophen, Tylenol and so on have three dosage forms: drops, oral liquid and chewable tablets; Merrill Lynch of ibuprofen has only two dosage forms for children: drops and oral liquid. /kloc-for infants before 0/year old, it is best to use drops, because the drug concentration of drops is small and the irritation is small.
2. The dosage of drops should be selected according to the weight. Generally, infants of 6~ 1 1 month, with a corresponding weight of 5.5 ~ 8kg, are given antipyretic drugs of 1 dropper. 12~23 months old, weighing about 8. 1~ 12 kg, eat 1.5 dropper.
3, children over 2 years old, it is best to take oral liquid antipyretic. Older children can use tablets, which are fruit-flavored chewable tablets like biscuits, and children will not refuse to take them. In addition, antipyretic drugs such as aspirin and paracetamol have great irritation and side effects on children, and indomethacin (indomethacin) drugs have great irritation on the stomach and are not recommended.
4. During the medication, parents should pay attention to not taking a class of antipyretic drugs for their children for too long. It is best to switch to another class of drugs if the fever exceeds two days. Take Tylenol and Baifuning no more than 4 times a day with a minimum interval of 4 hours.
