During the growth process of babies, they often experience colds and fevers, and parents adopt different coping methods. Some parents believe that they should take medication immediately when their children experience illness, while others believe that their children's own immune system can resist the virus. Taking medication too frequently can actually cause the child's body to produce antibodies. Next, the editor will take you to learn about whether babies should take medication at 37.5 degrees Celsius?
Does the baby need medication for 37.5 degrees
1. Compared to adults, there may still be differences in the body temperature of babies. Children have a higher basal body temperature, so 37.5 degrees may not necessarily be a true fever. It is best to check if the baby is wearing too much and if the room temperature is too high.
2. If the baby's mental state is very good, then it's okay.
3. If the baby's body temperature of 37.5 degrees lasts for a long time, in addition to paying attention to their mental state, it is best to go to the hospital for examination to rule out the possibility of bronchopneumonia.
What is the temperature of the baby that requires medication
1. When the baby's body temperature reaches above 38.5 ℃, antipyretic medication can be used. Fever below 38.5 ℃ is generally within the safe range that the body's immune function can cope with, and antipyretic medication is not necessary.
2. If fever reducing drugs are used too early, it not only affects the baby's immune function and prolongs the course of the disease, but may also mask the symptoms due to fever reduction, increasing the difficulty of diagnosing the primary disease. The drugs may also bring certain side effects.
3. If the child has a history of febrile seizures, it is still recommended to use antipyretics as soon as possible.
Babies, due to their young age, are more likely to cause parents' heartache and attention when they get sick, thus ignoring the fact that babies themselves are also resistant. The so-called care is chaotic. Therefore, when the baby's fever is not serious, parents can not worry too much, give the child more warm water to drink, tell the child some stories, give the child more companionship, accompany the baby to defeat the virus, improve the baby's own immunity, and the virus will naturally be far away from the child.
