When a baby shows abnormal behavior or is always not good at eating, mothers should gently touch the baby's forehead with their hands. If it is found to be very hot, it may be because the baby has a fever. However, once the baby is uncomfortable, it will always make the parents feel uncomfortable. These are all parents' worries. So, what should be done if a 15 month old baby has a fever?
What should I do if my 15 month old baby has a fever
1. When mothers notice that their baby's body temperature is not right, they should not panic. Instead, they should use a thermometer to measure their baby's temperature. If the temperature does not exceed the standard, it is generally not recommended to use antipyretic drugs. Physical methods can be used to cool down.
2. At the same time, it is important to drink more water for the baby during this period. If the baby is still breastfeeding, they should be given some water between each feeding to shorten the duration of each feeding. Artificially fed babies should reduce their milk intake and add more water to their milk.
What is the cause of a baby's fever
Repeated fever in children does not necessarily mean illness, as their resistance and ability to accept the environment are relatively low. They may develop fever due to external environmental factors, such as high temperature, wearing too much clothing, and intense exercise before and after. Bacterial infection is also the most common cause of fever in children. Children may not pay attention to personal hygiene when eating, allowing bacteria to invade the body and cause fever symptoms
When a baby has a fever, as parents, friends should pay attention to the daily discomfort symptoms of the baby. If the situation is severe, it is necessary to go to the hospital for detailed examination in a timely manner, because this can relieve the baby's fever. Therefore, parents and friends should remember a series of states of the baby.
