24-hour care method for baby's fever. Fever is a very common thing in daily life, especially for babies. If the baby's development is not perfect and the resistance is not very good, it will easily cause a cold and fever. What should parents do if the baby has a fever? Below I share the 24-hour nursing method for baby's fever, let's take a look.

Do physical cooling!
As soon as Niuniu was found to have a fever, her mother took Niuniu's temperature, which was 37.5 degrees Celsius. Mother first took off one of Niu Niu's clothes, then gave Niu Niu a small amount of water many times and opened the window to ventilate. However, at 1 1 half past ten, Niu Niu's body temperature has risen to 38.3 degrees Celsius, so her mother is going to do physical cooling.
If the baby's body temperature is high and it is not enough to take antipyretics, you can do physical cooling. The specific method is: soak the towel in warm water, twist it slightly dry, and then wipe the baby's neck, arms, chest, back, thighs and other parts. Wipe the large blood vessels located in elbow fossa, armpit and neck a few times, with reddish color as appropriate. Don't use alcohol to cool down, because the baby's skin is delicate and alcohol is easily absorbed into the body, which will cause the baby to be upset and cry.
The temperature has risen!
By 3 pm, Niu Niu's temperature has risen to 39 degrees Celsius, so it seems that the baby needs antipyretics!
If the baby's temperature is above 38.5 degrees Celsius, you can take antipyretics. The use of antipyretic drugs for babies should be taken strictly according to their weight. The commonly used antipyretic drugs for babies include acetaminophen (such as Tylenol and Baifuning) and ibuprofen (such as Merrill Lynch and Thorne), which are all antipyretic and analgesic drugs. Acetaminophen takes effect quickly, has strong effect and high safety, so it can be the first choice. Ibuprofen reduces fever quickly and steadily, lasting for 6-8 hours, and is generally used for children over 6 months. It should be noted that babies under 4 months old should not use antipyretics, just feed more water, loosen the coating or reduce the heat dissipation of clothes properly. If the body temperature cannot drop, take the baby to the hospital to see a doctor.
Body temperature rises again!
After taking antipyretic drugs for more than half an hour, Niu Niu began to sweat on her head and her body temperature dropped to 37.9 degrees Celsius. However, after about 3 hours, Niu Niu's temperature rose to 39. 1 Celsius again. The drug instructions say that you should take it again at an interval of 4 ~ 6 hours. What should I do?
This happens to many mothers. In fact, there is a way to deal with this situation, that is, to prepare acetaminophen (such as Tylenol) and ibuprofen (such as Merrill Lynch) at the same time, and use the two drugs alternately, which can reduce the number of times each drug is used within 24 hours and reduce the side effects of the drugs.
The specific method is to give ibuprofen to the baby 4 hours after taking acetaminophen, and take acetaminophen again 6 hours after taking ibuprofen if the body temperature rises again.
Have a high fever in the middle of the night!
In the middle of the night, Niu Niu's temperature rose again. Mother was in a hurry and didn't know how to deal with it: should she wake up the baby and give her antipyretic medicine, or let her go back to sleep?
If the baby falls asleep at night and has a high body temperature, wake him up to take antipyretic drugs or do physical cooling, otherwise the high body temperature will lead to febrile convulsions. If the baby's temperature continues to exceed 39 degrees Celsius, and he is listless or has a history of febrile convulsions, he can take antipyretics at home and send him to the hospital in time.
The temperature has dropped!
Niu Niu's temperature finally dropped to 37.5 degrees Celsius, and her mother breathed a sigh of relief.
Usually, the baby's body temperature will drop in the morning, but if the cause of the fever is not removed, the body temperature will rise again in a few hours. If the baby has a fever caused by a viral cold, it can continue to cool down as it did the day before.
Most colds are caused by viruses. Viral colds generally show a continuous increase in body temperature, and antipyretic drugs have certain effects. Moreover, viral colds are self-limiting, and when they reach a certain course of disease, their body temperature will naturally drop.
Degree of fever
The degree of baby's fever is not uniform at present, but most of them adopt the following standards:
37.5℃ ~ 38℃ is low heat.
38. 1 C ~ 39 C is moderate fever.
39. 1 c ~ 40.4 c is high fever.
Above 40.5 degrees Celsius is superhigh fever.
24-hour nursing method for baby with fever 2 What causes can cause fever?
First, external factors: children's body temperature is affected by external environment, such as wearing too much clothes, drinking too little water and not circulating air in the room when it is hot.
Second, internal factors: illness, cold, bronchitis, throat inflammation or other diseases.
Third, other factors: such as vaccination, including measles, cholera, diphtheria, cough, tetanus and other reactions.
How to deal with children's fever?
Observe the child's condition
Physical cooling is the first choice for intervention when the body temperature is below 38.5℃. Fever is the most common symptom in children's infectious diseases. The treatment of fever can be roughly divided into "physical treatment" and "drug treatment". Generally speaking, when children's body temperature is lower than 38℃, it is not necessary to use drug treatment, but to choose the correct physical cooling method. For example, sticking antipyretic stickers, drinking plenty of water, taking a warm bath and other ways all contribute to the reduction of body temperature.
The temperature above 39℃ needs medication under the guidance of a doctor. Parents should use drugs under the guidance of doctors, especially pay attention to the dosage of drugs, and send their children to the hospital for treatment in time.
Parents should have basic medical knowledge
Parents should learn more about relevant medical knowledge on weekdays. When encountering a situation, it is best to check the symptoms first. Parents can look for relevant information through the internet or books to take care of their babies at home first.
Does the baby need to go to the hospital for repeated fever?
Parents who have had a child's fever experience have this experience: children have to go to the hospital at least three or four times for a second fever. Compared with body temperature, whether to go to the hospital should be the child's mental state.
If the child can't eat or drink, he needs to go to the hospital for rehydration; If the child is restless when sleeping, or always groggy and tired, he needs to see a doctor in time; Children don't pretend to be sick. They suddenly become uninterested and indifferent to games or toys that they usually like to play. It also suggests that the baby's mental state is not good and needs to be diagnosed by a doctor again.
In addition, children with rash, body temperature above 40℃, fever for more than 3 days, and febrile convulsions or other situations that cannot be handled at home should go to the hospital.
Physical cooling method
Physical cooling is suitable for children with high fever and good circulation. It is characterized by simple method and few adverse reactions.
Warm water bath
Suitable for babies with high fever. The water temperature should be slightly lower than the baby's skin temperature (that is, 32 C-34 C). After the skin receives cold stimulation, it can make the capillaries contract and then expand, so as to achieve the cooling effect. Massage can also be used to stimulate passive expansion of blood vessels and promote heat dissipation when bathing. Pay attention to the uniform force when rubbing the bath, and gently massage a few times, which can also promote vasodilation. Rub it to armpit, groin and other places rich in blood vessels for a little longer to help dissipate heat. Rub the limbs and back for 3-5 minutes. After a warm bath, wrap the baby with a big towel, make the baby comfortable and lie flat, and give the baby more warm water.
Head cold compress
Cold compress on the head is suitable for the baby's general fever, especially for the baby with low temperature. Wet the towel with cold water and apply it to the baby's forehead, and change it every 5- 10 minutes. You can also fill the water bag with cold water and put it under your brain.
remind
1, it is best to put an ice pack on the child's head before rubbing bath (small children can use antipyretic paste), which will not only help to cool down, but also prevent congestion caused by the contraction of epidermal blood vessels during rubbing bath.
2. The chest, abdomen and back neck are very sensitive to stimulation, which can cause adverse reactions such as reflex bradycardia and diarrhea. It is not advisable to take a bath with warm water or alcohol.
3, children with rashes should not use warm water to cool down.
