When a child has a fever, taking acetaminophen or ibuprofen suspension has a good antipyretic effect. When you give your child antipyretics, you should also use the physical cooling method and let the children drink more water.
There is also a place for children to rest and pay attention to diet. It is recommended that your baby eat more fresh vegetables and eat some lean meat, eggs and soy products. It is best not to eat fried and smoked food, and eat less leek.

Generally speaking, a child's fever is a manifestation of inflammation in the body. It is recommended that you take your child to the hospital for blood tests, to find out whether it is a bacterial infection or a viral infection, and then cooperate with the doctor for symptomatic treatment. Only when the inflammation subsides, the body temperature can really return to normal, otherwise, the child will have a fever repeatedly.
3. Take medication in time to prevent febrile seizures
When the child's body temperature is greater than 38.5 °C, oral antipyretics such as Tylenol, Merrill, and Enric can be used under the doctor's advice to prevent hyperthermia and convulsions caused by overheating of body temperature.
Here to remind everyone, children will sweat a lot when they have a fever, should let him wear fewer clothes. If your child has more sweat, you should change the wet clothes in time to avoid getting sick from the cold. In addition, be sure to let him drink plenty of water to avoid dehydration.
Cold fever usually falls for a few days
Usually, a fever caused by a cold will fall back after two or three days. Because the child's resistance is different, the fever time is long and short.
If your child's fever is not very high, I suggest you use the physical cooling method to help him with fever. If your child has a high fever and follows the doctor's advice to take antipyretics to your child, you may be advised to take a physical cooling method.
Here to remind everyone, do not wear too many clothes when the child has a fever, so as not to affect the heart. Not to sweat, this will not only help the child to reduce fever but will become hotter and hotter. This is because when the child's body temperature is high, sweating is easy to induce febrile seizures, but it will make the child's body weak and even worse.
Is it a bad thing for children to have a fever?
Some parents think that fever is a bad thing, and a child's fever will burn your brain. In fact, only meningitis, encephalitis and other diseases can cause brain intelligence or sensory function damage, because the brain itself is damaged by the virus. A fever is not the culprit that causes a child to become paralyzed or stupid.
Compared with adults, the child's temperature control center is less stable, and a slight viral infection may increase the body temperature to 40 °C. As long as you know how to deal with children with fever, the cause should be diagnosed by a doctor, don't worry too much.
In fact, from a certain perspective, fever in children is a good thing! Fever is a body-defense reaction caused by disease. It can activate the body's immune function, eliminate as many viruses and bacteria as possible as soon as possible, and speed up the immune system.
When a child has a fever due to a cold or other disease, it is not good for the parent to try to make it fall immediately. It may reduce his resistance.
