Fever is the most common symptom of children, one of the most concerned problems of parents, and also the focus of rumors and legends. I have written many articles about fever, but I certainly can't eliminate all the misunderstandings, so I will summarize the nine most common misunderstandings and interpret them, and see how many you have committed. I hope I can look at the baby's fever more ideally after understanding it!
First, fever is a disease.
Fever itself is not a disease, but a symptom of it. There are many diseases with fever, the most common of which is infectious diseases, ranging from the common cold to severe sepsis. Taking antipyretics to lower the body temperature doesn't mean that the child will get well.

Second, the condition can be judged according to the body temperature.
Low-grade fever can be common cold or tuberculosis, and high fever can be acute rash of children or meningitis. The change law of body temperature has certain reference significance for the diagnosis of diseases. The higher the body temperature of children with fever within 6 months, the greater the risk of serious diseases, but the correlation is not great. The temperature of children with fever is not directly proportional to the condition. Compared with the degree of fever, the mental reaction of children is more meaningful for the judgment of the condition.
Third, a fever will burn your brain.
The body temperature is controlled by the temperature center of the hypothalamus, and the fever rarely exceeds 41C, so the fever will not burn the brain. It may be the fever caused by meningitis that causes the problem, not the fever. If the body temperature exceeds 41c, it is mostly because of heatstroke or heat trapping that the child cannot dissipate heat.

Fourth, the fever will not be reduced without medication.
Children's diseases are mostly respiratory tract and enterovirus infections, and most of them have fever, and most of them are self-healing diseases, and the course of disease will be normal after body temperature. Every child has to experience a fever. Before modern medicine came into being, people were born by self-healing. But most of them can heal themselves, which doesn't mean that they don't need medication. When the fever is very uncomfortable, antipyretics can improve the comfort of children. When there is serious bacterial infection, antibiotics can improve the survival rate of children. The use of antibiotics is determined by doctors according to the condition.
5. The body temperature should be normal immediately after taking antipyretics.
It usually takes half an hour to take effect of antipyretics. After taking effect, the body temperature can generally drop by1-1.5 C, but generally it does not drop to normal. The duration of antipyretics is 4-8 hours, and the body temperature may rise again after the drug takes effect. The purpose of taking antipyretics is not to make the body temperature normal, but to alleviate the discomfort caused by fever.
Six, antipyretics can prevent febrile convulsions.
Whether a child has a fever or not has nothing to do with the use of antipyretics, but with the child's own physique. Febrile convulsions mainly occur in the stage of body temperature change. Current studies have confirmed that antipyretics cannot prevent cramps.
