Fever in babies is very common because their immune system is not fully developed and their ability to adapt to the external environment is not very strong, which can easily lead to viral infection and cause high fever. But some babies may experience recurrent high fever after the fever subsides, which can make parents anxious and often confused. So, what should I do if my baby experiences recurrent high fever?
1. The baby has recurrent high fever, parents should not be too anxious to give the baby antipyretic medicine, but should understand the cause of the baby's fever. Because different pathogens require different methods of treatment. In general, babies with high fever can be treated with medication to reduce fever, but the method and dosage of administration must be done according to the doctor's requirements.
2. When a baby repeatedly has a high fever and their body temperature does not exceed 38.5 ℃, parents should first choose physical cooling methods, such as giving the baby a warm bath, undressing, applying a cold compress to the forehead, and giving the baby plenty of water. When the baby's body temperature exceeds 38.5 degrees, parents can give the baby antipyretic medication and perform physical cooling methods to help the baby reduce fever.
3. Perhaps due to the baby's inadequate nutrition, the body's resistance is weakened, making it susceptible to virus invasion and causing recurrent high fever. At this time, parents should pay more attention to the balanced diet of their babies, eat more foods rich in protein, sugar, fat, minerals, etc., and eat more easily digestible foods, such as rice soup.
When a baby experiences recurrent high fever, parents should not worry too much and should not abuse antipyretic drugs in the first place. We should remain calm and rational, observe the actual situation of the baby, and take corresponding measures to help the baby reduce fever faster and more effectively. At the same time, let the baby rest more, reduce outdoor activities, and avoid reinfection of viruses outside.
