1. Can you eat shrimp when you have a fever? You can eat shrimp when you have a fever.

Shrimp is rich in high-quality protein and has low fat content.

But eat steamed and soft food, which is not irritating to the stomach and easy to digest; do not eat fried food, which is irritating to the stomach and difficult to digest. Chew slowly when eating.

When most people have a cold, fever and feel unwell, their gastrointestinal function will be affected. Eating these foods at this time is more likely to cause indigestion and gastrointestinal discomfort.

If the patient is still a young child, his intestines and stomach are already relatively immature and fragile, and his body's resistance is relatively weak, so he will not be able to withstand such a torment.

Since meats that are too fatty cannot be eaten, some mothers think that fish and shrimp are relatively bland, and aquatic products are more nutritious, so they are the first choice meat foods for babies with fever.

However, fish, shrimp, and crabs themselves contain histamine, and histamine can increase blood vessel permeability, dilate capillaries, cause congestion, plasma leakage, edema, and hypersecretion of glands.

A baby's fever is usually accompanied by tonsillitis, redness and swelling or coughing and wheezing. Eating fish, shrimp, crab and other aquatic products will aggravate the baby's condition.

As the old saying goes, "fish produces fire and meat produces phlegm." These high-protein foods are not suitable for babies to eat when they have a fever and illness.

2. What foods should not be eaten when you have a fever? First, avoid eating more eggs: Eggs are indeed rich in nutrients, but it is not advisable to eat more eggs during a fever. This is because the protein in eggs will generate a certain amount of extra heat after being decomposed in the body, which will cause

The body's heat increases, aggravating fever symptoms, prolonging the fever time, and increasing the patient's pain.

2. Avoid eating too much honey: During fever, you should focus on clearing away heat and not nourishing.

Honey is a tonic that replenishes qi and nourishes the body. If you take too much honey, the patient's internal heat will not be well cleaned and eliminated, and other diseases will easily occur.

Three taboos: Drinking too much cold drinks: If infectious diseases such as bacillary dysentery caused by unclean food cause fever and decreased gastrointestinal function, drinking too much cold drinks will aggravate the condition, or even worsen the condition and endanger life.

Four taboos: Drinking too much tea: Drinking strong tea will keep the brain in an excited state, speed up the pulse, and increase blood pressure, which will in turn make the patient's body temperature rise and become irritable.

At the same time, tea water will affect the decomposition and absorption of drugs and reduce the efficacy of drugs.

Five taboos: Eat too much spicy food: As the body temperature rises, the metabolism in the body is strong. In this case, eating warm and spicy food such as ginger, garlic, and pepper will increase the heat and aggravate the condition, which is not conducive to reducing fever and speedy recovery.

3. Commonly used physical fever-reducing methods, such as warm water scrubbing, are suitable for babies with high fever.

The water temperature should be slightly lower than the baby's skin temperature (i.e. 32℃-34℃).

After the skin receives cold stimulation, the capillaries can contract and then expand, achieving a cooling effect.

Massage techniques can also be used during bathing to stimulate the passive expansion of blood vessels and promote the dissipation of heat.

Pay attention to applying even force when wiping and bathing, and gently massaging a few times can also promote blood vessel expansion.

Rub it into the armpits, groin and other areas rich in blood vessels and leave it there for a little longer to help dissipate heat.

Rub the limbs and back for 3-5 minutes each.

After bathing with warm water, wrap the baby in a large towel, let the baby lie down comfortably, and give the baby more warm water to drink.

Alcohol bath When using alcohol bath, pay attention to the concentration of alcohol. Generally, the concentration of 30%-50% is appropriate.

The alcohol should not be too cold, and the temperature should be 32℃-35℃.

Dip the gauze or towel in alcohol and wipe it regularly.

Usually, it starts from the child's neck and rubs from top to bottom along the outside of the upper arm to the back of the hand.

Then rub it along the inner side of the upper arm through the armpit to the palm of the hand.

After wiping the upper limbs, wipe the back from the neck down. While wiping and bathing, use the other hand to gently massage and pat the back to promote blood circulation.

Finally, wipe the lower limbs starting from the iliac area in the same way as the upper limbs.

Wipe each area for about 3 minutes.

When wiping armpits, elbows, palms, groin, soles of feet and other parts of the body, the stay time should be slightly longer to improve the heat dissipation effect.

Baby's skin is delicate, so you should be gentle when wiping and bathing, and don't use excessive force to avoid damaging the skin.

During the alcohol scrubbing process, attention should be paid to keeping the baby warm, not exposing too many parts of the body, and covering the wiped parts in time.

If you find that your baby is shivering, pale or otherwise abnormal during the bath, you should stop bathing, cover the baby with clothes and quilts to keep him warm, and consult a doctor promptly.

Alcohol baths should not be used on infants and weak children.

4. What to pay attention to after having a fever. A few people even have symptoms of fever.

Some patients will take some antipyretics as soon as their body temperature rises, thinking that the disease will be cured if they sweat.

There are at least three disadvantages to doing this.

First of all, fever is a protective response of the human body.

During fever, the production of antibodies in the body increases, and the phagocytosis of white blood cells and the detoxification function of the liver are enhanced, which is helpful for the body to eliminate invading pathogens.

If you blindly take antipyretics at this time, it will affect the recovery of the disease.

Secondly, many diseases can cause fever.

A low-grade fever may be just a symptom of a cold, but a low-grade fever that persists in the afternoon may be a sign of tuberculosis.

During the SARS epidemic in 2003, some patients did delay treatment because they blindly took antipyretics.

Therefore, from the perspective of facilitating timely diagnosis by doctors, patients should not take antipyretics too early.
