Baby from small to large, more or less have some symptoms of fever, some parents are anxious like a cat on hot bricks everywhere, consulting inquiry; some parents, the only child fever rapidly, eat and plug them altogether, in fact, and not on children\'s health is a load.
What causes fever – identify children fever caused by \"false\"
Fever in children caused by many reasons, generally fall into three main categories:
First, the external factors:
Body temperature in children under the influence of the external environment, such as clothing in hot weather to wear too much, too little water to drink, room air circulation.
Second, the internal factors:
Sickness, colds, bronchitis, inflammation of the throat, or other diseases.
Three other factors:
Such as vaccination, including measles, cholera, diphtheria, Pak cough, tetanus, and other reactions.
Fever is just one symptom of the disease, but not all. Small Song Wenju physician, Director of Pediatrics, said doctor for fever, cares about is the impact and progress of the disease itself, but usually parents see only the appearance of diseases, such as fever, vomiting, cough, panic. Everyone knows doctors for medical treatment, first to discover the causes of and can be completely cured, rather than just for fever. So, in some cases, will be symptoms of fever continues to show it, to explore the inner real causes. Therefore, he reminded him of MOM and dad, remember not to just require physician fever, to treat symptoms of fever, but should follow the doctor\'s advice, accurate find out the real causes of fever caused by and prescribe.
Fever does not \"burned mind\"--whether antipyretic may be necessary
Baby fever, parents are crazy immediately, there is nothing more than a traditional concept, think the baby fever burned out brain. Small Ding Qiwen physician, Director of Pediatrics said that fever itself, is not \"brain deterioration, intelligent variation\", and had such misunderstandings in the past, because of medical knowledge has not been universal, reason behind high fever does not distinguish clearly.
In fact, the only diseases such as encephalitis, meningitis, brain mass viruses will hurt itself and intellectual or sensory functions, rather than the fever burned people stupid, and deaf. She further stressed that the infant body temperature control stability of central than adults, mild virus infection may also be a high fever of 40 ° c, while fever parents need to know how to deal with, as regards etiology should be handed over to professional medical diagnosis, not too worried.
According to statistics, whether what the cause of fever, body temperature rarely exceeds 41 c, if the temperature is exceeded, higher likelihood of suffering from bacterial meningitis or sepsis, should be particularly vigilant. Brain cells are able to withstand the high temperature limit, you may have to 41.7 c, cell proteins are heat-metamorphism, result in an reply to injury, such extreme temperatures rarely associated with diseases, clinically only allergic to anesthesia, causing malignant fever could reach such a high temperature.
Ding Qiwen Director said, because the fever itself and will not harm the child, so fever if necessary, have long been controversial. Advocate not fever of scholars believe that fever is a normal immune response, can help white blood cells fight bacterial, analysis patterns can help diagnose the cause of the fever, fever but misleading. However, most physicians and scholars in favour of moderate fever, because fever increases metabolism, resulting in internal consumption, patient headache, fatigue, rapid heart beat, very comfortable, easy to dehydrate in infants, fever caused by evaporation, is a vicious circle, higher percentage of infants with febrile convulsion, laissez-faire fever, causing harm is unnecessary.
Method--civil wrong concepts fever and nursing children with fever in the choice and taboos
Looking at the above arguments, parents should have the right attitude, the fever as a warning. Pediatric Neurology Director Zhao Wenchong doctors said fever is caused by various diseases defensive reaction of the body. Studies have shown that white blood cells of the body responsible for swallowing bacteria, when the temperature rises (38 ° c ~39 ° c) its ability to swallow strengthened. So as a child when the temperature rises due to colds or other infections diseases, using all possible methods, to immediately drop to normal body temperature range, is not a wise move. As this may reduce the resistance of the child itself.
Some parents use of folklore fever methods, such as cold water or alcohol dry bath for the child fever, which is not appropriate. Song Wenju Director pointed out that the baby fever scald skin when you suddenly run into cold water or alcohol, baby\'s reaction will be very intense, may result in convulsions; and the smell of alcohol will put a child to sleep, like a drunk in General.
In addition, traditional older \"cold to the concept of\", causing the general misconception that fever must put on more clothes, Zhao Wenchong Director stressed that, in fact just the opposite. He said that, while fever General place to the skin surface of thermal maximum, heat works best, if too many clothes can be removed, a lot of body heat can be excluded through loose, cool appearance, is easy to drop in body temperature.
Fever of the truly dangerous signals – baby fever full guidance
Zhao Wenchong Director stressed, baby fever pathological causes can vary, such as sepsis, meningitis, inflammation of the myocardium of viral encephalitis in severe cases, no treatment can result in disability or death; light, just a slight cold, ignored it will as well. But this difference is not in the middle of professionals it is difficult to judge, sometimes also use inspection technology to do differences.
Baby fever, parents solid without a fuss, but cannot be ignored, leading to illness out. Parents should learn how to have the skills, knowledge and wisdom to face it. When children fever will merge other performance: such as rapid heart beat, breathing speed up body feel extremely uncomfortable, have the phenomenon of appetite body weakness, young infants do not speak, or even become restless crying disturbed. At this point, appropriate treatment, the body temperature is not too high a reasonable, especially
Their infants with febrile spasm or congenital heart disease, more is needed.◇ Easy 6 tips to correct by fever:

• How to properly use fever medicine
Of course, in these several fever method, for parents, and fever drug use is the most easily, and quickly, and every baby home and really must be standing drug fever to be a rainy day, so that temporary night fever helpless. But Ding Qiwen officer reminding parents, fever medicine is the use of skills and principles, and when to use, how to use, and Yi has the right idea, will not be ineffective or even fever out of control.
She said, fever drug has agent, and ingot agent, and suppositories and injection, General to agent more moderate, most general using of is containing-bashing hot income pain of syrup, as children Merrill Lynch syrup, and children hundred clothing Ning drops level, Ah Republika horse spirit ingot agent fever effect or, but some specific of virus infection, for example varicella or influenza, Ah Republika horse spirit may raised mine\'s syndrome, should not be using.
Anal suppository used to plug, by the rectal absorption, the effect quickly, when the child refused to take medicine also fever, very convenient, but prefer small, intensive use of easy fever, and steep drop in body temperature, or repeated stimulation anus, causing diarrhea. Fight fever needle, is the most secure, some children allergic shock. Fever a number of ways, will be able to cool down, parents need not impatient for a moment, lose a lot.
