Fever is one of the common pediatric diseases. Generally, when parents face a baby's fever, their first reaction is to physically cool it down to lower the baby's body temperature. But if the baby's body temperature does not drop or if they have recurrent fever, they need to be treated at a hospital. So, can babies get injections if their fever doesn't subside within 48 hours?
When a baby has a fever, getting antipyretic injections is not a good choice, and it is recommended that parents give their baby antipyretic medication. However, regardless, if the baby has a fever for 48 hours, they should immediately seek medical attention and follow the doctor's arrangements for treatment. If the doctor believes that the baby needs a fever reducing injection, then parents should take the baby to get a fever reducing injection. If the doctor thinks it's not necessary, parents don't have to worry, taking antipyretic medication is also acceptable.
Moreover, when the baby's fever subsides, parents should first physically cool the baby, such as applying a wet compress to the baby's forehead, soaking a towel in 20-30 ℃ cold water, folding it and placing it on the baby's forehead while ensuring that the towel does not drip, and changing the towel every five minutes. Moreover, parents can use warm water to wipe the baby's body, especially the baby's head, armpits, limbs and other parts, which is beneficial for the baby's heat dissipation.
When Baobao has a high fever, the increased breathing can cause the body to sweat faster, resulting in the loss of a large amount of water. So parents should promptly replenish their babies with water, increase their urine output, and promote the elimination of toxins from their bodies. Moreover, when dressing the baby, it is important to pay attention to the appropriate amount and not let the baby wear too many clothes, as this can actually be detrimental to the baby's recovery.
