What should I do if my child has a fever?

It is very common for children to have a fever, especially in winter. The temperature difference between day and night is large, and the children's adaptability to the external environment is poor, and the body's immune system is not fully developed. Slight discomfort can easily lead to fever symptoms, or the body temperature rises rapidly after taking medicine to reduce fever. It would be even worse if the flu broke out. Parents should handle it calmly, and always put antipyretic drugs at home or in the bag for emergencies.

Dietary precautions

In diet, you should supplement your baby with enough water, a lot of inorganic salts and vitamins, and give your baby proper calories and protein. In diet, it is best to give priority to semi-liquid or liquid food, and it is best to eat less and eat more meals. It is best to give the baby with a fever some other nutritious and digestible foods, such as milk and rice soup.

Selection of antipyretics

Antipyretic drugs for children must be suitable for their organ physiological functions and drug metabolism characteristics, so it is suggested to keep professional antipyretic drugs for children, such as ibuprofen or acetaminophen, which are safe, effective and rapid antipyretic drugs recommended by the World Health Organization.

Medical opportunity

If the child's fever has not improved for more than three days, or the baby has a high fever and convulsions, it is necessary to seek medical treatment in time so as to find out the cause and treat the symptoms.

Etiology of fever
