How to cover the quilt if you have a fever, and whether to cover the quilt if you have a fever?

During the period of rising body temperature, the brain sends instructions to increase the body temperature to a degree (not an exact number) to kill bacteria or viruses.

At this time, the muscles of the body begin to carry out this command, shaking themselves desperately to generate heat - this is why the child shivers.

At this time, the blood vessels begin to constrict, reducing heat dissipation, which is why the hands and feet are still cold.

The whole body works together, and the brain's orders must be carried out in place, that is, the body temperature soars to degrees.

At this time, do you want to cover the quilt?

Of course, we have to be rigorous, and we have to say it in two ways:

If the child is shivering and the whole body is cold, there is no second word at this time, cover the quilt, cover the quilt, cover the quilt, not only let the child produce heat by himself, and then cover the quilt to reduce the heat dissipation, as soon as possible to reach the index of the brain, after reaching the index, the child will not feel cold, will be comfortable. At this time, the child's body temperature rises very quickly, and it is time to take antipyretics. At the same time, cover the quilt at this time, and the child will feel comfortable psychologically, and feel that the adult is consistent with his own thoughts on **.

If the child does not have chills now, only the hands and feet are cold, at this time, it is recommended to keep the child's hands and feet warm, get a small warm water bag to warm the hands and feet or cover the hands and feet. Why don't you cover it with a quilt at this time? Because the child does not shiver, the body temperature rises not very violently, and the whole body does not feel cold, at this time, the child may feel uncomfortable when the quilt is covered.

In addition, if after covering the quilt, once the child begins to dissipate heat, if the quilt is not removed in time, the child may be covered more hot, which is not good.

Fever is divided into body temperature rise period, heat peak period, body temperature drop period, if the baby has cold hands and feet during the rise in body temperature, chills, should cover the quilt to keep warm, and at the same time warm hands and feet with hand bags or hand rub the baby's hands and feet; After the fever and body temperature reach the peak, the body temperature should be lowered into a period, and the quilt should be properly opened to dissipate heat, not too thick, and warm water should be wiped with warm water to cool down the whole body. It should be noted that the baby's body temperature rises with cold hands and feet, chills, if the body temperature rises quickly, it is easy to have febrile convulsions, parents must measure the body temperature in time, and reduce fever in time. Sweating is indeed good for relieving cold symptoms, especially for the fever of wind chill cold.

The specific method of covering sweat can be operated as follows no matter day or night: 1. Use a little hotter warm boiled water to take cold medicine or antipyretic medicine and immediately enter the thick quilt, cover the quilt tightly, only expose the nose and mouth to breathe, and put a hot water bottle filled with hot water at the feet. 2. After drinking the hot soup with pepper or scalding your feet with hot water, immediately enter the quilt to sweat, the operation is the same as above, it should be noted that it is advisable to dry the sweat in time after sweating, and at the same time supplement the appropriate amount of warm boiled water, the first method can be operated repeatedly.

1. When you have a low-grade fever, cover the quilt, and the body's thermoregulatory system will use the heat to accelerate the blood flow when it feels hot outside, and at the same time, sweat will evaporate water to take away the heat, so that the body itself can lower the temperature. This understanding presupposes that the patient's thermoregulatory function is normal. The thermoregulatory center of the hypothalamus is physiostatic"Setting point"It is basically maintained at about 37C, and has the ability to restore normal body temperature.

2. However, when there is a high fever, the heat emitted by the body itself is already less than the heat generated, as mentioned here"High fever does not go away"That is, the body temperature has been maintained at a fairly high temperature value, that is, it is no longer enough to rely on the body's own adjustment to reduce the temperature, indicating the physiological thermostat"Setting point"Keep in between. Covering the quilt not only does not wick away sweat, but affects the loss of heat in the body and keeps the high temperature continuous. Therefore, clothing should be appropriately reduced instead of covering the quilt, and additional heat dissipation methods must be relied on to help the body dissipate heat.

If the fever patient feels very cold, his limbs are cold, and he shiveres all the time, he should cover the quilt, but if the fever patient feels hot and sweats all the time, it is necessary to dissipate heat at this time and cannot cover the quilt.

Extended Materials. Fever cover quilt.

When the body temperature rises, the whole body of a fever patient will chill and shiver to generate heat, so covering the quilt at this time can reduce the heat dissipation and make the patient feel comfortable.

When the body does not produce heat, the fever patient will gradually dissipate heat outward, the blood vessels will dilate, and the body will sweat all the time.

It is useless to cover the quilt with a fever and sweat.

For people with weak physique, it is best not to sweat profusely to achieve the purpose of cooling down, sweating profusely takes away too much water, which will make people who are already very weak even weaker.

For small babies, do not "cover your sweat". When a child has a fever, he or she will shiver, and parents will think that the child has chills, but in fact it is due to the cramps caused by their body temperature rises. It may lead to "heat cover syndrome", causing a series of serious consequences such as shock.

The child's clothes should be unbuttoned first to dissipate heat, and then physical cooling methods such as cold and wet compresses on the head and warm water wiping should be carried out.

How to deal with fever.

If you have a fever, you should drink water in time. It's as if the machine needs to be dissipated with water when it is running to prevent the machine from burning out. In the same way, we also need to replenish water to support the body to eliminate toxins through fever, so it is necessary to drink some water appropriately.

Unless you have a fever of 39 degrees C or higher, or may be life-threatening, do not rush to get a fever injection.

Get plenty of rest and don't overdraw your strength.

To understand correctly, we must know that our body's immune system never does anything meaningless, and fever is a signal to remove harmful substances from the body. And fever needs to consume a lot of nutrients and a lot of energy to be completed, so only with the support of sufficient nutrients and energy, the human body can complete the process of fever detoxification.
