Is it right to cover your baby s sweat when he has a fever? What are the four most common misconcept

The baby has a fever, if you are worried that he will catch a cold again, or worry that the baby will feel cold when he has a fever, or if you want to cover him with sweat and reduce the fever, you will cover him tightly, it is a big mistake, the baby's fever must not be covered, otherwise it is easy to cause heat syndrome, and even life is in danger, because the baby's body temperature regulation center is not yet perfect, and the body temperature regulation ability is very poor. It can even induce febrile convulsions, and the baby should do a good job of physical cooling when he has a fever, and never give him too much clothing.

It is not right for a child to have a fever and cover his sweat. Your baby has a fever. The easiest misconception is that she will get better if she sweats, but in fact, it is not, it does not mean that sweating will be fine, and it is not good if she wears too many clothes for fever. It's not okay to have a fever without drinking water.

Wrong. You can't take a bath, otherwise it will make the child catch a cold, let the baby eat meat, and replenish the lost nutrients; It is believed that when the fever has subsided, the disease is cured; Think that a fever is sick and can cause damage to the brain.

Because in ancient China, it is said that the cold is a kind of wind chill disease, it is the wind evil into the body, and the fever is this wind evil into the body to a certain serious point, when the body is covered by the quilt and sweating can heat up the wind evil in the body, and at the same time, you can not suffer from the wind cold again in the process of healing from the fever, otherwise the disease will be more severe, so "cover the sweat" when you have a fever. In fact, to put it in more popular terms, it is to make all the viruses in your body come out through sweating. But this is all a fantasy statement, and the real scientific truth is this.

The act of "covering sweat" is first of all to prevent your body from dissipating heat, your body will automatically produce a repair mechanism because of a cold, and a lot of heat will be generated under such a mechanism, but the heat will make you feel cold, and the body will be more susceptible to cold during this time, so you should use the quilt to cover the method to prevent your body from dissipating heat. And the heating up of the quilt will also make your body feel hot, make your nerve center feel hot, and help it restore its normal regulatory mechanism.

This kind of high temperature can give your brain the illusion that your body model has a normal body temperature, so you no longer balance the body's temperature control center, but let the body's heat dissipation and heat production reach a new balance.

After that, your body temperature will return to normal.

Secondly, "sweating", "sweating", the purpose is to sweat in addition to a cover, "sweating" will make your body produce a lot of sweat, the pores on the surface of the human body are all opened because of heat, blood flows through the end of the capillaries, and the cold in your body will flow out of the body along this channel, thus helping you recover your body.

Now there is a saying that "covering the sweat of the year" is a bad habit handed down from ancient times, in fact, this statement is not correct, different fevers have different causes, ** methods are different, some need to dissipate heat, but some just need to "cover sweat".

The body with a fever should be physically cooled.

Sweating is done by raising the body temperature first, passively sweating, and then lowering the body temperature. So before the body temperature decreases, there will be a process of body temperature increase. If the body temperature rises too high, it can cause cerebral edema and even coma, especially in children and the elderly.

Experts also tell us that for children, sweating when they have a fever can have more serious consequences. Covering too much can cause a condition called "fever syndrome", in which the child will have convulsions, coma, and in severe cases, respiratory and cardiac arrest, and even death.

1. The baby's clothes should not be worn too much, otherwise it will affect the heat dissipation and make the body temperature not come down, so it is necessary to prevent the occurrence of febrile convulsions, especially for newborns whose body temperature is above the degree, once the package is too tight, it is easy to lead to convulsive seizures. Therefore, for newborns with elevated body temperature, it is necessary to immediately unwrap and loosen clothing to dissipate heat.

2. Physical cooling should be slow rather than urgent, suitable for those with a high fever of 39 or more, or when the diagnosis is unknown, delirious, and there is no way to administer medicine, or the external temperature is too high to cause heat. Various physical cooling methods can be tried:

1) Soak a towel or ice pack in cold water and apply it to the forehead, groin, armpits, etc. for 20 minutes.

2) 35%-50% alcohol rub the limbs, neck, chest and back for about 2-4 minutes, and wrap in a towel or quilt after wiping.

3. Cold saline enema, the water temperature is about 20, each time is 200-500 ml. At the same time, it is best to take appropriate sedatives, such as hibernatin or 10% chloral hydrate, before physical cooling, which can reduce the cold reaction and prevent the occurrence of convulsions.

You can't eat it with a cold and fever:

1. Eggs: Eggs are indeed rich in nutrients, but it is not advisable to eat more eggs during the fever, because after the protein in the eggs is decomposed in the body, it will produce a certain amount of extra calories, which will increase the body's heat, aggravate the fever symptoms, and prolong the fever time and increase the pain of the patient.

2. Strong tea: Drinking strong tea will keep the brain in a state of excitement, and make the pulse faster, increase blood pressure, and then make the patient's body temperature increase and irritability. At the same time, tea water will affect the decomposition and absorption of drugs, reducing the efficacy of drugs.

3. Cold drinks: If it is a fever caused by infectious diseases such as bacterial dysentery caused by unclean food, and the function of the gastrointestinal tract decreases, drinking more cold drinks will aggravate the condition, and even worsen the condition and endanger life.

4. Honey: During the fever period, it should be mainly used to clear heat, and it should not be nourished. Honey is a tonic in the qi nourishment, if you take more honey, the patient's internal heat will not be well cleaned and eliminated, and it is easy to complicate other diseases.

5. Spicy: Due to the increase in body temperature and the vigorous metabolism in the body, in this case, eating warm and spicy foods such as ginger, garlic, and chili peppers will help heat and aggravate the condition, which is not conducive to fever reduction and early development.

6. Forced eating: When some children have a fever, parents often think that the fever consumes nutrients, and it is even worse if they don't eat. As a result, they force their children to eat, and some even desperately give them high-nutrient foods.

In fact, this practice is counterproductive, not only can not promote appetite, but also can cause appetite, and even cause vomiting, diarrhea, etc., making the condition worse.

This is actually a major misunderstanding of our Chinese common sense.

This is an erroneous conclusion that has been the result of experience.

It may have been a long time ago that everyone found that as long as you sweat when you have a fever, you can get a fever.

So a "smart person" simply covered the person with a fever and covered his sweat, and the fever was naturally cured.

In fact, this is fundamentally the cause of the end.

It's not that I get better because I sweat and I have a fever, but because I have a fever.

From a medical point of view, the normal temperature of the human body is 37 degrees Celsius.

The armpits are usually measured when the body temperature is measured, so it is slightly lower than 37 degrees Celsius.

And what is the principle of fever, when we are sick and the pathogen is too strong to be eliminated normally.

Our immune system will work harder, and our body temperature will rise.

At this time, the heat dissipation does not produce much heat, but gradually increases as the body temperature rises.

When a higher body temperature is reached, heat dissipation and heat production are balanced.

Our body temperature is fixed at a high temperature. That is, a fever.

When our immune system destroys the pathogen, the workload becomes smaller, the heat production decreases, and the heat is naturally increased through sweating and other methods, and the body temperature returns to normal.

And if you have a fever, you can do this kind of operation. What will happen?

Heat dissipation becomes more difficult, not only does not help to reduce fever, but affects the normal heat dissipation of the body, which may lead to an increase in body temperature and endanger health.

This way of reducing fever affects the work of the immune system and is harmful to the disease.

Every time I had a fever when I was a child, my mother would help me "sweat" and help me get rid of my fever.

Now that I think about it, I'm alive and strong. Shouchang slag.

In short, this kind of "sweating" method is not advisable, and it is a bad habit that should be abandoned.

This method should be feasible, but if the baby burns hard, don't try this method, it's better to use the best method, after all, if the high injury is too bad, it may affect the child's IQ.

No, because babies are very fragile during fever, and if you do this, it can cause some other diseases.

No. Because fever needs to be reduced**, the child's immunity is poor, and it is best to use medicine**.
