It is common for children to get sick, and fever is even more common. However, judging from the situation of pediatric patients in and out of the hospital, most of them are due to children's fever, and their mothers blindly use antipyretic drugs to worsen children's diseases. So how to correct the baby fever?
In particular, neonatal fever is not free to use antipyretic drugs, because the neonatal body temperature regulation function is not perfect, the development of various enzymes in the body is not complete, the body heat preservation, heat dissipation function is poor, but environmental temperature change, overheating, cooling can cause fever, so it is best to use physical cooling, such as exposed limbs, warm water and alcohol bath, once the body temperature drops, should immediately Stop cooling, keep warm and prevent freezing, and drink more water. Secondly, we should carefully choose drugs, pay attention to the dosage of drugs, children have a fever, do not use antipyretic needle, some fever needle intramuscular injection, often cause sweating, allergy, shock, exfoliative dermatitis, and can cause buttock muscle atrophy, fiber degeneration, spasm, etc., seriously affect lower limb activity, adduction is limited, and can not run fast.
If you have a cold and fever, you can choose oral paracetamol preparations, such as children's Tylenol, ibuprofen drops, etc. for children, and pay attention to read the instructions, dosage. When the body temperature drops, the drug can be stopped. The antipyretic and analgesic drugs in over-the-counter drugs are generally used for no more than 3 days to avoid adverse reactions.
Therefore, experts remind that antipyretic drugs are the most commonly used drugs in pediatrics. Parents are familiar with them and can name them. But the usage and function of antipyretic drugs are not fully understood, so sometimes improper use will bring some troubles.
