    Introduction: Parents who have babies at home will definitely encounter this situation, in the middle of the night, the baby suddenly has a high fever, at this time parents should care for the baby, help the baby reduce the fever? According to doctors' statistics, high fever accounts for about 80% of children's emergency rooms in the middle of the night, and the most common cause of fever is a cold.

    In fact, as long as you master the correct nursing method, it is not a problem to reduce the baby's fever in the short term.

    Case

    On the weekend, A Bing and his wife took their two-and-a-half-year-old son Junjun to the park to play for a long time, and at night the baby began to run a runny nose, and then had a fever, the body temperature was as high as 39, the face was red, and the ends of the limbs were cold. Soon after the baby fell asleep, the breathing became faster and faster, irritable, and the body temperature reached 40, so the parents hurriedly held the baby "hit" to the hospital to see the emergency, the pediatrician diagnosed it as a common cold, and carried out infusion and antipyretic treatment.

    Expert analysis

    1. If the baby's body temperature is exceeded, in order to prevent the baby's febrile convulsions, it is necessary to take antipyretics.

    2. Fever is the embodiment of the body's self-protection mechanism, which is a good thing. Some mothers are afraid that their babies will burn out their brains, but there is no scientific basis for this. Most viruses and bacteria need a temperature of 39 or more to kill, so don't rush to get your fever down.

    3. If you have a fever, you will usually have a blood test when you go to the hospital. If white blood cells are high, a bacterial infection is present; If white blood cells are normal and lymphocytes and neutrophils are above the normal range, it is a viral infection. Antibiotics are needed for bacterial infections, but not for viral infections.

    4. The baby's first fever is usually a baby rash. There are no other symptoms, sudden fever, may have a high fever (according to the physique, some babies are prone to high fever, some babies are not easy), generally two or three days of fever, fever subsidence is a rash. There is no specific medicine for fever caused by baby rash, do not use antibiotics, just take good care at home.

    Tips: The following conditions require urgent medical attention

    1. The baby is unconscious.

    2. Convulsions and spasms.

    3. It is recommended to seek medical attention urgently.

    4. The infant is less than 2 months old and has a fever of 38 or more.

    Children's fever is very common, but many parents still can't treat it calmly, especially when their children have a fever in the middle of the night, some parents are anxious to take their children to the hospital to see an emergency, in fact, there is no need for this, not to mention the child's guilt, but also face the risk of cross-infection. So what should I do if my child has a fever in the middle of the night? Let's find out with me.

    What to do if your child has a fever in the middle of the night

    1.Use a fever reducer patch

    If your child has a fever in the middle of the night and is crying all the time, you can use this to relieve the discomfort in your child's head. Many families will always have this thing at home after they have children. If you don't have a fever patch, use a towel instead.

    2.Maintain air circulation

    If there is air-conditioning in the house, keep the room temperature between 25 and 27. You can put your child in an air-conditioned room or use an electric fan to blow around to make your body temperature drop slowly, so that your child will feel more comfortable. However, if the limbs are cold and shivering violently, it means that they need to be warm, so they should be covered with a blanket.

    3.Wipe your body with warm water

    If your child has a high fever, you can use warm water to lower your child's temperature. The main thing is to stabilize the child and ease the child's feelings. If the child still does not improve, parents should not drag, it is best to check with the child's doctor.

    4.Remove too much clothing

    Don't panic when your baby has a fever, pay attention to other symptoms and general state, and then deal with it. If your baby's limbs, hands and feet are warm and sweaty, it means that you need to dissipate heat, so you can wear less clothing.

    After reading the above, I believe you should have an understanding of what to do if your child has a fever in the middle of the night. Parents need to pay special attention to not giving their children drugs when they have a fever. Because parents are not doctors after all, and their understanding of drugs is not very clear, it is likely that the child will not only not get better after taking it, but also have some bad problems.

    Prepare some cold and fever medicine and a thermometer at home: children's 100 doses, Motrin, Tylenol, etc., give the baby medicine if it exceeds 38 degrees, go to the hospital for medical treatment above 39 degrees, and take medicine to give the baby a little more water.

    Especially for babies under one month of age, try not to use fever-reducing drugs. Because there are medical regulations in the United States, children under 6 months of age should try not to use fever-reducing drugs. If it is said that the condition is recurrent or more serious, it should still be used, especially if the child's parents have a family history of febrile seizures when they are young, I recommend that you give him antipyretic medicine in time to prevent the occurrence of convulsions.

    So try to avoid convulsions as much as possible.

    After the child gets sick, I think parents should treat this problem correctly, one is to be nearby, the other is to take the medicine recommended by the doctor, and do not run to several hospitals a day, so that the child has more chances of infection. Therefore, try to get medical treatment nearby, take medicine patiently, listen to the doctor's instructions, don't change the medicine today by Dr. Wang, and Dr. Li tomorrow, it is not good for the child, which is from the medical aspect.

    In terms of nursing, parents should not make the house impermeable, the temperature should not be too high, the child should not wear too much, he should be dressed appropriately, drink more water, try to be light in the diet, and avoid greasy. In particular, the child's small food must be controlled, which is good for reducing the child's cough.
