Can babies drink salt water if they have a fever
If a child has vomiting and diarrhea accompanied by high fever, the possibility of acute gastroenteritis should be considered. When the body temperature is above 38.5 degrees, Meilin or Tylenol can be used for fever reduction treatment. When the body temperature is below 38.5 degrees, you can frequently use warm water to cool down, or apply antipyretic patches to the forehead to cool down. It is recommended to temporarily fast for a period of four to six hours and not take medication. The purpose is to give the stomach sufficient rest. If you are thirsty, you can drink a small amount of ginger brown sugar water multiple times to stop vomiting. If you do not vomit after drinking water, you can drink water in small amounts multiple times. Do not drink a large amount of water at once, as it will stimulate the gastrointestinal tract and cause vomiting.
When the child no longer vomits, they can eat small amounts multiple times, gradually increasing their appetite until they return to normal. The medicine can also be taken. It can be used to aid digestion with maternal raw materials, lactase raw materials, pepsin oral solution, etc. It can also be used to stop diarrhea and protect the intestinal mucosa with Simida. If dehydration symptoms such as thirst, sunken eye sockets, and decreased skin elasticity occur, it is necessary to seek medical attention promptly and receive intravenous treatment to replenish body fluids. If necessary, hospitalization may be required.
When a baby has a fever, be careful not to eat anything
1. Babies with fever should eat less eggs: Eggs are indeed rich in nutrients, but it is not advisable to eat more eggs during fever. This is because the protein in eggs is broken down in the body, producing a certain amount of extra heat, increasing the body's heat, exacerbating fever symptoms, prolonging fever time, and increasing patient pain.
2. Babies with fever should drink less tea: drinking strong tea can keep the brain in an excited state, accelerate the pulse, raise blood pressure, and cause the patient's body temperature to rise and become restless. Meanwhile, tea water can affect the breakdown and absorption of drugs, reducing their therapeutic efficacy.
If you accidentally catch a cold and have a fever, it is still necessary for mothers to think carefully about what problems may occur in their babies, which may lead to them catching a cold. Remember to keep in mind the occurrence of such situations. Is it possible to prevent the baby from catching a cold again in the future. So, when a baby has a cold or fever, it is important to pay more attention and take responsibility for them.
