Speaking of fever, everyone is familiar with it, almost everyone has experienced it. Fever is a manifestation of self-protection in the human body. Along with fever, there are many other symptoms such as limb weakness, sweating, etc. This can also occur in babies with fever. As babies are young and unable to express themselves, parents are very worried and do not know what to do. So, what should I do if my baby has a fever and sweats?
Firstly, a baby's fever and sweating is a phenomenon of body heat dissipation, which is beneficial for lowering body temperature and also a manifestation of self-protection. Therefore, parents do not need to worry excessively. Babies are prone to dehydration when they sweat. It is recommended to give them plenty of water, pay attention to rest, and especially supplement with vitamin C to prevent dehydration.
Secondly, if the baby has a fever, they should not underestimate it. It is best to take the baby to the hospital for a blood routine to determine the cause. If the fever is caused by a virus, antiviral drugs can be used for treatment. If fever is caused by bacterial infection, antibiotics can be used for treatment. You can also take cold medicine, which has a certain effect on treating and relieving common colds. If the body temperature exceeds 38.5 degrees, oral antipyretic drugs can be taken. Many drugs are suitable for reducing fever in infants and young children and can have a rapid antipyretic effect.
Finally, parents with babies at home must purchase specialized medicines for children's colds in advance to avoid emergency needs. Specific medicines can be consulted at the hospital. It is important to note that adults have different constitutions from babies, and it is best not to use adult medicines for babies. If the fever is severe, home medicines can be used to resist it for a while.
