Mothers accompany their babies' growth every day and are important people in their lives. Not only is it important emotionally, but it is also the best guardian of the baby, always responsible for their safety and health. But many mothers are new mothers without much experience, what if their baby suddenly has a high fever?
1. Check the cause of the illness
A baby will not inexplicably have a high fever. Suddenly having a high fever must be due to some illness in the body. What the mother needs to do is take the baby to the hospital for examination and identify the cause of the fever. Do not rush to administer medication to avoid masking the condition and delaying the baby's health.
2. Physical cooling
After examination and identifying the cause, the mother can proceed with fever reduction treatment for the baby. If the baby's body temperature is within 38.5 degrees, there is no need to administer medication, it can be relieved through physical methods. Mothers can use alcohol swabs to wipe the soles of their baby's hands, feet, thighs, armpits, and other areas. You can also use warm water to give your baby a bath. While the water on the surface of the body evaporates, it can also take away a lot of body heat.
3. Fever reducing medicine
If the baby's body temperature does not return for a long time, then the mother should quickly give the baby medication to cool down. Avoid continuous increase in body temperature, which may lead to other complications. But antipyretic drugs cannot be fed randomly. You need to consult a doctor and get a prescription to ensure the safety of your baby's medication.
