What should I do if my one and a half year old child has recurring fever?

There are many causes of fever in children, which can be clinically divided into infectious and non-infectious. Infectious causes are the most common in life. The most common cause of fever is cold. Parents and friends should find the clear cause of their children's fever. If the baby has a fever for too long and the body temperature is too high, the baby may easily faint. Fever also often causes the baby to burn his ears. So, what should you do if a one and a half year old child has recurring fever?

The main methods of cooling the baby down are medication and physical cooling. The specific medication is best used under the guidance of a doctor. When your baby has a fever, as long as he is in good spirits and can eat and take medicine, there is no need to be particularly nervous.

It is normal to have repeated fever for a few days whether it is a viral infection or a bacterial infection. Current research shows that viruses can only be killed when the human body is around 38.5 degrees. Trying to lower the body temperature to normal too early is actually not conducive to exerting one's own resistance. Moreover, many babies remain in good spirits even when their fever reaches 39 degrees. Generally, antipyretics are only necessary when the temperature exceeds 38.5 degrees. For low fever, physical cooling can be sufficient.

Here is a method for parents and friends to reduce fever:

Beat an egg and get the egg white. Then find a napkin or gauze, apply the egg white on it or soak the gauze, and then stick it on the child's forehead. Change it after a while. You can also get a small wine glass or something like that with a smaller mouth, pour the egg white into it, wrap the wine glass with gauze, and then use the mouth of the cup to slowly apply the egg white in circles on the child's forehead. Basically, when the egg white is almost applied, the fever will subside.

Repeated colds and fevers are caused by the baby's poor resistance. Babies with poor resistance are extremely susceptible to viruses and bacteria such as influenza virus and rotavirus during the change of seasons. Colds, diarrhea, upper respiratory tract infections and other diseases often occur, so it is necessary to supplement exogenous immune substances to gain immunity. Freeze-dried bovine colostrum is the best external immune supplement. Eating freeze-dried bovine colostrum can help babies resist viral and bacterial infections and reduce the incidence of diseases such as influenza, pediatric pneumonia, bronchitis, and autumn diarrhea.

Parents can take their babies to the hospital for a blood test to distinguish whether it is a viral infection or a bacterial infection, and prescribe appropriate medication. Fever is just a symptom, and treating the cause is the fundamental solution. Repeated fever means that the virus has not been controlled. In addition, the baby needs to be given better care, such as physical cooling, taking medicine on time and paying attention to changes in the condition to prevent aggravation or downward infection into tracheitis, etc.

In the process of reducing the baby's fever, the baby will sweat a lot, so parents should appropriately reduce the baby's clothing and change the wet clothes, so as to prevent the baby from catching cold and aggravating the condition. You should also give your baby more water to prevent dehydration. You should also check whether your baby has inflammation. Only when the baby's inflammation disappears can the body temperature return to normal. Otherwise, it will keep recurring.
