    After a long day of playing outside, Beibei came home at 7 o'clock in the evening, and after eating, Beibei said that she was very tired and her knees hurt. The mother thought that she was injured while playing outside, but when she checked Beibei's body, she felt that the child's ** was already very hot, and she took her temperature and found that it was Celsius!

    Although it was already a high fever, the child's spirit was still good, and the mother gave the child some Tylenol according to the drug instructions, and after taking a hot bath, the child's body temperature slowly dropped, and after an hour and a half, it had dropped to Celsius. At about half past eleven, the mother took Beibei's body temperature again, and the body temperature was maintained at Celsius, the mother was very anxious, after taking an additional dose of Tylenolin, she was worried that she would have to go to the hospital if she burned again at night, and found some Chinese patent medicines for the child to use, including a small bag of cold powder, Xiaochaihu powder, and a Qingkailing.

    In less than half an hour, Beibei's body temperature quickly dropped to normal, but she still continued to sweat, and she had to wipe her body every ten minutes or so, and her spirit was getting worse and worse. After rehydration and other measures**, Beibei returned to normal.

    Recently, in the free clinic held by Shanghai Johnson & Johnson Pharmaceutical Company, experts from the Second Affiliated Hospital of Guangzhou Medical College introduced that there are many patients with fever in children in autumn and winter. Like Beibei, who plays too crazy and sweats a lot during the day, if the child is so hot that he takes off his clothes and does not put them back in time, he is especially prone to cold and fever. As soon as a child has a fever, many parents will be very anxious and hope that the fever will go away as soon as possible.

    However, when giving fever reducers to children, parents need to be especially careful not to give them too much or too much fever reducers, otherwise it may be dangerous.

    First, fever is a response of the human body to the invasion of viral germs, and from this point of view, fever is good for fighting diseases, so when a child has a fever, there is no need to rush to lower the body temperature to normal. Experts recommend that fever reducers should be used when the body temperature is higher than Celsius.

    Second, the combination of antipyretics is easy to be dangerous. Many parents think that the combination of proprietary Chinese medicine and Western medicine will not cause problems, but this is not the case. Many proprietary Chinese medicines contain a lot of chemical ingredients, which are similar to ordinary Western medicine antipyretics, and when the two are combined, the chemical components that have the effect of reducing fever are easily overdosed.

    Third, keep children's fever reducers properly. Most of the commonly used antipyretics are not bitter, and some even have a sweet or fruity taste, such as Tylenolin, cold powder, Qingkailing, etc., children generally do not refuse to take them, once they are used excessively, they will cause serious symptoms such as sudden drop in body temperature and dehydration, so these drugs should be properly stored to prevent children from stealing food.

    I found some relevant materials, I hope you can remedy it in time!!

    Antipyretics are drugs used to lower body temperature, and they cool down quickly, some drugs can be taken for about 1 hour, and some drugs will cool down after 2 hours. Generally, babies will sweat after taking antipyretics, and after sweating, their body temperature will drop. However, what should I do if some babies mistakenly take antipyretics.

    Taking antipyretics can cause profuse sweating, and it is necessary to drink more fluids to avoid collapse, and if necessary, to see a pediatrician. Therefore, parents are reminded to keep medicines out of the reach of their babies.

    If the baby has a fever, remember to be in a hurry, if the baby is in good spirits, that is, the body temperature is hot, then pay more attention to observation, if you are always crying, you should seek medical attention in an emergency. If the family has antipyretics, you can give the baby antipyretics, but pay attention to the following points when taking antipyretics:

    1. If there is no fever in a short period of time after taking the antipyretics, parents should not be anxious, because the medicine has to have an absorption process, and some parents are anxious and busy taking it for the second time, which will cause great damage to the child's liver.

    2. Do not take antipyretic medicine for more than a week.

    3. The minimum interval between taking antipyretics is 4 hours, not more than 4 times a day.

    4. It is best to take several antipyretics in rotation, so that the damage can be minimized.

    5. While taking antipyretics, be sure to take anti-inflammatory drugs at the same time. Because since you have a high fever, it means that there is inflammation in the body, so you should take anti-inflammatory drugs.

    6. When taking antipyretics, be sure to read the instructions carefully to see if there are any contraindications, how much medicine is or what.

    Parents don't have to be too afraid of their child's fever, fever is the body's self-protection response, fully mobilize the immune system, generally as long as it is not a long-term fever. Pediatricians suggest that when the baby has a fever below 39, if the spirit is very good, you can not be busy taking medicine, and try to cool down physically, such as putting a cool towel on the head and wiping the body with cold water, "Observe for 1 hour first, and then consider taking antipyretic medicine if you can't cool down." ”

    If the physical cooling can not make the baby's body temperature drop to the following, it is necessary to start giving the baby antipyretics, but some antipyretics are very effective, and you must not eat more, "Some parents do not grasp it well, and the antipyretic medicine is too effective, and the child's body temperature is reduced to below 35, accompanied by cramps." Therefore, parents should pay attention to the accumulation of experience when giving their children medication, and the child's physique should gradually explore and accumulate which drugs respond well, which drugs are not sensitive to, and the appropriate dosage. ”

    For example, if children take too much antipyretics, it will have a certain impact on children's bodies, but some people think that taking too many antipyretics will not cause much harm to children's bodies. So what are the effects of taking too much fever reducer in children?

    Many parents like to rush to the doctor, especially when the child is sick and the condition is aggravated, they are even more indiscriminate to give the child medicine, and even take it upon themselves to increase the dosage, but is it really good to increase the dosage at will, of course it is not possible, the ingredients of each drug are different, and the dosage of children of different ages is also different, and increasing the dose of the drug at will will bring damage to the child's body. Take antipyretic medicine as an example, although it can effectively help children cool down, but its dosage is very strict, and the dosage of the drug needs to be considered comprehensively according to the child's weight and age.

    What are the fruits that can help children cool down in their lives? What happens if you take too much fever-reducing medicine? Some parents look at their children's fever and discomfort, and the body temperature still does not drop after feeding a fever-reducing medicine, so they mistakenly think that the dose of the medicine is not enough, so they give the baby more antipyretics, but this behavior is not right, antipyretics need to be taken strictly according to the child's weight and age, what will happen if you eat too much fever-reducing medicine?

    When you have fever symptoms, you should seek medical attention to understand the cause of the fever, and do not buy fever-reducing drugs to avoid delaying the disease**. For fever, in principle, antipyretic drugs should be used sparingly, and it is generally better to drink more hot water and physical cooling (such as warm water baths). When the fever exceeds the degree and there is an uncomfortable feeling, antipyretics can be given appropriately, but it is not necessary to bring the body temperature down to the normal range.

    The main purpose of using antipyretics is to alleviate the discomfort caused by fever. If the drug is overdosed, the methods adopted are to induce vomiting (depressor the root of the tongue makes the child nauseous and spit out the stomach medicine, mostly within 1-2 hours after taking the drug), drink water to promote excretion, and go to the hospital for treatment. If the body temperature has dropped, you can continue to observe, and check the blood routine and liver and kidney function after 1-2 weeks, if it is normal, you don't need to worry.

    Babies can easily drop their body temperature after taking an overdose of fever-reducing medications, so parents should take care to monitor their body temperature. For babies with fever, parents should give their babies more water, rest and maintain a good night's sleep, and provide the right amount of calories and protein. Children should eat light food when eating, eat some easily digestible food, do not eat snacks, spicy food, and do not eat greasy food.
