What are the wrong practices after having a fever?

Introduction: With the efforts of many pediatricians, many parents now know that fever does not necessarily need to take antipyretics, fever is also good for the body, and the risks of taking excessive antipyretics. However, once a child is hospitalized with a fever, these hard-won correct concepts seem to be beaten back to their original shape. As far as I know, in most children's hospitals, the unwritten habit of dealing with the fever of sick children is still to say nothing, and take antipyretics first.

1. The common cold should be treated according to the symptoms

(1) Even if you don't take medicine, you can heal yourself in 7-1 days. Those who are light should pay attention to rest, keep warm and drink plenty of water. Those with obvious symptoms can take appropriate medicine to relieve symptoms.

(2) Symptomatic treatment: early use of anti-cold drugs, antihistamines, antipyretic and analgesic drugs to improve local and systemic symptoms.

2. Attention should be paid to the following situations, and it is best to go to the hospital for medical treatment

(1) Severe cold: when the symptoms are obvious, accompanied by severe sore throat, headache, low fever, etc., or when the daily work and life cannot be carried out due to obvious symptoms, it is necessary to go to the hospital for examination to distinguish bacterial or viral infections.

antiviral therapy: oxytetracycline, midecamycin or intramuscular injection of penicillin and gentamicin can be taken.

antibiotic therapy: such as amoxicillin and azithromycin.

(2) If the condition is still not improved after treatment for a period of time (within 7 days), it is necessary to be alert whether it has become chronic and stop taking the medicine immediately.

(3) The symptoms of this cold are quite different from those of the past. Accompanied by other symptoms. It should be differentiated from the initial symptoms of infectious diseases or specific infections.

3. People need to pay special attention. Once they catch a cold, it is best to seek medical advice

(1) Patients who are taking drugs with chronic diseases, such as heart disease, hypertension, hyperthyroidism, glaucoma and prostatic hypertrophy.

(2) The frail old people and infants under 3 years old should take drugs under the guidance of doctors, and never give drugs to children blindly to avoid accidents. If the course of the disease does not heal for 3 days or the symptoms are serious, stop taking the medicine and see a doctor.

(3) pregnant or pregnant women, especially in the first four weeks of pregnancy.

Warning: Use of antibiotics

The common cold is generally caused by viruses, and only a small part of it may be infected with mixed bacteria, which often happens a few days after getting sick.

influenza is caused by influenza virus.

Antibiotics are used to fight bacteria, but not viruses, so the abuse of antibiotics has no therapeutic effect when it produces toxic and side effects. In addition, the abuse of antibiotics will also lead to the emergence of a large number of drug-resistant strains. Experts suggest that, generally speaking, you should not take antibiotics by yourself unless you have yellow pus and runny nose and fever when you have a cold; When cold symptoms are serious or complicated with other symptoms, you should see a doctor in time, and choose antibiotics under the guidance of a doctor when bacterial infection or complications are confirmed.

Too high body temperature can cause brain damage, which is correct, and it will happen when it exceeds 42℃. The causes of this kind of brain injury in medicine include: dehydration heatstroke caused by exercise in the sun, high temperature heatstroke caused by children being locked alone in the car, malignant hyperthermia caused by anesthetics and so on. Please note that these situations are caused by human negligence or the side effects of anesthetics, and they are not caused by the "natural" fever reaction of the human body when it is sick. Naturally occurring fever, no matter how vicious bacterial virus you are infected with, will not and cannot make your child's body temperature soar to 42℃, because before that, the body's autonomic nerves will take the initiative to adjust the body temperature downwards.

Therefore, it is extremely wrong to "sweat" with a thick quilt when you have a fever. Because doing so is equivalent to creating an "unnatural" environment, which may make children suffocated to heatstroke. At this time, it is really difficult to say which height the temperature will break through.

Children who have a fever use antipyretics for only two purposes: first, to make their children feel better temporarily; Second, it is convenient to observe the child's mental activity.

joke:

I went to a small shop to buy watermelons and bought an popsicle. At this moment, a little girl beside me kept staring at the popsicle in my hand. I smiled and asked: Little sister, do you want to eat popsicles? She: Yes. Me: Well, I'll give you a nice sentence. She: Husband. Holy shit.
