Health tips: the weather is unstable in summer, and the baby has a cold and fever from time to time. How to deal with it? The body temperature of normal children is slightly different. Generally speaking, the normal temperature range is 36 ℃ ~ 37 ℃. When the temperature of armpit exceeds 37.4 ℃, it can be considered as fever. Fever in children does not need to be cooled down when they have a cold. Unless the body temperature exceeds 38.5 ℃, which may cause brain cell damage or has a history of febrile convulsion, it is not necessary to give antipyretic treatment as soon as possible. Because hyperthermia is a natural defense reaction of human body, it can increase antibody synthesis and phagocyte activity, and sometimes it is helpful for diagnosis and prognosis judgment.
The common cooling measures are as follows:
(1) Physical cooling, head cold compress, or head pillow ice water bag; use 30% - 50% alcohol to wipe the children's limbs, hands and feet, arterial pulsation, etc.; or put the sick child in the room temperature of 21 ℃ - 22 ℃ environment, as far as possible, wear less clothes, so that the sick children's skin can contact with the outside air, through the air conduction, convection, radiation heat dissipation, to reduce body temperature. All the above methods can achieve the purpose of temporary cooling.
(2) Aspirin or Alu tablets are commonly used to cool the temperature. Some Chinese patent medicines with heat clearing and detoxification effects can also be used, such as zixuedan, xinxuedan, xiaoerjindan, etc.
In addition to the above measures, we should also pay attention to children in fever should be fully rest, drink more boiled water, eat easy to digest food, strengthen life care.
