Babies have relatively weak bodies, and colds and fevers are the most common illnesses they are prone to. After a child has a fever, parents should take timely measures. Moreover, some babies may have persistent high fever, which can easily lead to febrile seizures and cause greater harm to the baby. So, what if the baby's high fever doesn't subside?
If the baby's high fever persists, physical cooling should be carried out in a timely manner, and immediate medical treatment should be sought to avoid febrile convulsions. Parents should administer medication to their child under the guidance of a doctor. Parents should be aware that after their child takes antipyretic medication, the next time they take medication should be after 4 hours, and antipyretic medication should be taken no more than 4 times a day. Parents should not change the dosage without authorization.
When a child has a high fever, it is necessary to reduce their clothing and bedding. Many parents think that when their children have a fever, they should cover their sweat, but in fact, this not only does not help to lower body temperature, but also hinders heat dissipation. For infants and young children, reducing clothing and bedding can help lower their body temperature.
When a baby has a high fever, it is advisable to give them more water, which can help them sweat and dissipate heat, as well as regulate temperature. When a baby has a fever, a large amount of water in the body will be lost, especially if the fever does not subside, which can easily cause dehydration symptoms in the child. At this time, hydration is particularly important. If necessary, intravenous infusion should also be administered.
