What is the problem with recurrent fever

1. Does a fever really burn out the brain?

The answer is: no.

Fever is just a symptom, and our baby's illness is an external manifestation, not a disease in itself.

Fever itself doesn't burn the brain, and there hasn't been any research to prove that fever can make people stupid or burn out the brain.

The truth is that some central system infections, such as viral encephalitis and bacterial encephalitis, often begin to manifest as fever, and some children are not treated in a timely manner, or other reasons lead to neurological sequelae, such as epilepsy, intellectual disability, etc. But this is not a problem caused by the fever itself, but by an infection within the skull.

Similarly, fever itself does not burn out body organs such as the liver or heart, but is caused by other diseases in the body itself.

In fact, in pediatric outpatient clinics, the cause of fever in babies is generally more common respiratory infections, and this fever itself will not have adverse effects or sequelae on the health of children.

Second, if the baby has a fever, we generally only need to follow the following steps to deal with it:

1. Processing principle: how to be comfortable for the baby, the baby's clothes can be reduced, don't believe the nonsense of sweating, the baby is absolutely not applicable.

2. The most important thing in the whole process of fever is to observe the mental state rather than body temperature, if the baby is not in good spirits and wants to sleep all the time, it is recommended to see a doctor to check the reason.

3. If the fever is lower than the recommended physical cooling, and if the fever is higher, you can choose safe and effective antipyretics, such as Motrin and Tylenolin.

4. The use of antipyretics is to relieve the child's discomfort and reduce the child's uncomfortable feeling caused by fever.

All in all, the fever seems terrible, but it is actually a sheep in wolf's clothing, and the baby on the other side has a fever, and it is most important to find out what causes the fever first.

Fever reduction is mainly divided into two major methods, one is the physical cooling we are talking about, using the principles of physics to reduce the body temperature to normal. We have also said before that the increase in body temperature is due to the imbalance between heat production and heat dissipation, and then it causes the setting point of the body temperature center to rise, and at this time, a body temperature increase, if we help the body to dissipate as soon as possible, more heat, so that his body temperature can return to normal.

The most common method is to drink plenty of plain water to help him sweat, and at this time the body temperature will be carried away from the sweat. In addition, you can use some warm water, or warm water mixed with alcohol, rub and test**, especially this part of the large blood vessels, such as our neck, armpits, elbow fossa, groin, fossa and other positions, which can help the body better dissipate heat, and then make the heat dissipation more than heat production, so that you can achieve a cooling effect.
