Not only do adults have a fever, but children also have a fever. Fever in children is more troublesome compared to adults because they cannot use drugs indiscriminately, as the chemicals contained in drugs may affect the baby's development. But the baby cannot speak and cannot express that they have a fever, so how should we determine if the child has a fever? Does a baby cry when they have a fever?
Does a baby cry when they have a fever
Babies will cry when they have a fever. Once a baby has a fever, the surface skin temperature will rise, causing dizziness and headaches. Once the body is uncomfortable, the baby will express their emotions and physical discomfort by crying. Babies with fever should not be given medication. Physical cooling methods can be used to help reduce the fever.
How to prevent a baby from having a fever
1. Not being picky or picky about food, consuming balanced foods rich in protein, sugar, fat, and minerals (such as eggs, dairy, lean meat, and soy products) can help strengthen the body.
2. Vitamin A and vitamin C can enhance the function of the skin and mucous membranes, improve immunity, and prevent colds. Encourage babies to eat more red and yellow foods and fruits such as carrots, pumpkins, and tomatoes, which contain beta carotene that can prevent and treat colds. But you can't eat too much pumpkin and carrot to prevent the baby's skin from turning yellow.
3. Baby's diet should be light, as salty food can increase the burden on the baby's kidneys and lower the body's immune system. The weather is dry, giving babies plenty of water or a certain amount of fruit juice every day is beneficial for removing dryness, protecting the function of mucous membranes, promoting the elimination of viruses, and preventing colds.
A baby's fever causes a great headache for the mother, as when the temperature reaches a certain level, it can have an impact on the child's brain, and some children may even become mentally disabled due to the fever. Therefore, once a baby is found to have a fever, treatment is needed. It is best to prepare some fever reducing patches at home, which will not affect the child's physical health and can also reduce the fever.
