During the fever period, the baby needs careful care from parents. Depending on the baby's fever situation, physical cooling or medication should be used as appropriate to quickly restore normal body temperature. But some babies may experience prolonged low-grade fever, so how can babies sweat if their low-grade fever doesn't subside?
1. When a baby's low-grade fever persists, parents should not blindly cover the baby to make them sweat. The reason for the persistent low-grade fever may not be due to catching a cold, but may be due to inflammation in other organs of the body, such as pneumonia and bronchitis in children. Therefore, it is necessary to take the baby to the pediatric department of the hospital for examination and proper treatment under the guidance of a doctor.
2. If the baby's low-grade fever persists and is diagnosed as an upper respiratory tract infection, it indicates that there may be an increase in body temperature, and there is often no fever or sweating at this time. Parents should frequently measure their babies' body temperature, and if necessary, provide physical cooling or take antipyretic medication to cool down. After taking antipyretic medication orally for about half an hour, babies often experience sweating and their body temperature gradually decreases. At the same time, it is necessary to encourage the baby to drink more hot water, which is beneficial for heat dissipation and fever reduction, and also helps to relieve sweating.
3. When the baby has a fever and is sweating, it is necessary to wipe off the sweat on the baby's forehead and body in a timely manner, and change into dry and close fitting clothing. Pay attention to moderate warmth and avoid catching a second cold.
