Food burning is one of the fever types that children often have. Food burning is different from common fever and the treatment is different. You must know how to reduce the fever when the child has food and fever!
How to reduce the fever
physical cooling
Accumulated food causes fever. Taking antipyretics immediately will reduce the body's ability to resist germs. If the temperature does not exceed 38.5, physical cooling can be used. Warm water can be used to wipe the baby's forehead, hands and feet, back and chest, to help cool down, it's also good to take a warm bath. Also can give the baby to wear loose cool clothes, help heat dissipation. Drink more water, replenish the water taken away by fever, promote metabolism and take away some internal heat.
Eat some liquid food.
During the baby's accumulation period, do not force the child to eat, but properly feed some soup, porridge, milk and other liquid food, and slightly eat some light vegetables. Fruit can eat banana, apple, promote defecation.
Help massage
If the baby's defecation is obstructed, it will cause abdominal distention and abdominal pain. The parents can massage the baby's abdomen clockwise with the palm as the center. When they feel the hard part (possibly stagnant defecation), they should push down slightly to promote defecation. You can also dip your fingers in baby oil and gently massage your baby around the anus to stimulate defecation. Proper exercise
Properly let the baby more activities, rely on his own gastrointestinal activities to digest food, help the accumulation. Exercise can also increase the secretion of sweat glands. Sweating can also take away part of the internal heat and help cool down.
Maintain air circulation in the home
If there is air conditioner in the house, keep the room temperature between 25-27 ℃. Children can be placed in an air-conditioned room or blown around with an electric fan, so that the temperature drops slowly, so that children will feel more comfortable. But if its limbs are cold and shivering, it means that it needs to be warm, so it needs to be covered with a blanket.
Hot feet
Feet can promote blood circulation and relieve discomfort. Another beauty of a baby's feet when he has a fever is that they help cool down. The feet can be soaked in a foot basin or a small bucket, and 2 / 3 of the basin water is poured in. The water temperature should be slightly higher than usual, and the temperature should be about 40 ℃. The standard is that the baby can adapt. When soaking feet, the mother stroked the baby's two little feet, which not only expanded the blood vessels, but also reduced the discomfort caused by fever.
Ice pillow
When the baby has a high fever, you can make an ice pillow for the baby, which is both comfortable and good. Go to the hospital and buy an ice bag (not a hot water bag). Pour the ice into the basin, knock it into small pieces, wash away the edges and corners with water, put it into an ice bag, add 50-100ml of water, do not fill it up, 2 / 3 of it is enough, exhaust the air, clamp the mouth of the bag, wrap a cloth or towel under the baby's head and neck as a pillow. When the ice melts, it can be replaced. Soon the baby's temperature will drop.
The difference between food fever and common fever
Food burning is the experience of many children, but food burning is different from the common cold and fever, so parents need to have a certain understanding of food burning to better care for the baby. Let's follow Xiaobian to see the difference between food burning and ordinary fever.
The fever caused by children's accumulated food shows that before the fever, children have a very good appetite, eat too much, have thick and greasy tongue coating, and have no obvious symptoms such as red and swollen throat, cough, cold, etc.
Cold and fever can be divided into wind cold and wind heat fever. Wind chill and fever usually occur from the beginning of winter to the end of winter and the beginning of spring, which are manifested as headache, cold fear, no sweat, fever, blocked nose, clear runny nose, cough and itchy throat. It can be treated by the method of dispersing wind and cold, or by ginger and brown sugar water. Wind heat and fever will be accompanied by red swelling and pain of pharynx, runny nose, red tongue and other symptoms. You can drink some ginger water during treatment. If you have phlegm, you should cooperate with some other treatment according to your child's personal situation.
In addition to the above, there is a simpler way to determine whether a child has a cold or a fever. We can touch the baby's stomach and back. If the back is hotter than the stomach, it means a cold and fever; if the stomach is hotter than the back, it means a fever caused by accumulated food.
