In fact, this practice is unscientific. Many people argue that it is better to have a fever after sweating, but in fact sweating is the result of fever, not the cause, especially for children.

Children in hot weather are prone to fever for many reasons, such as upper respiratory tract infection, pneumonia in children, bacillary dysentery and so on. In particular, improper use of air conditioners will make children's body temperature regulation function disorder and their resistance decline. Once bacteria or viruses enter, it is more likely to cause children to have a fever. Many parents are eager to reduce fever, thinking that "sweating will get better quickly", wearing too many thick clothes for their children, or wrapping them with thick blankets, but this is not only useless, but harmful to children.

In response to this misunderstanding, Jia, a pediatric attending physician at Xiangfan Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital, said that from a scientific point of view, children should dress normally regardless of whether they have a fever or not. Due to the imperfect development of children's cerebral cortex function, its central body temperature regulation function is relatively poor and its heat dissipation function is imperfect. Especially in hot weather, if you wear it too thick, it will bring inconvenience to children's heat dissipation, and it will easily cause high fever in a short time, even reaching 39.5℃ close to 40℃. High fever cramps are not uncommon in clinic.

Here, the doctor reminds parents that the correct way to give their children a fever is to supplement their children with certain nutrition and sufficient water in time. If you need to give your child antipyretics, you must strictly follow the doctor's advice. In addition, children's diseases focus on routine care and prevention. It's very hot. In order to prevent the child from having a fever, don't let the child blow directly into the fan. The air conditioning temperature should not be lower than 26℃. Don't frequently shuttle between air-conditioned rooms and outdoors or stay in closed air-conditioned rooms for a long time. Eat less cold food in your daily diet, because people are weak when they have a cold and don't eat much. If you sweat too much at this time, it will easily cause collapse and dehydration. When the electrolyte in the body is unbalanced, the patient's resistance will decrease, which will aggravate the condition or cause other complications.
