Infants are weak, so they are particularly vulnerable to diseases, especially infectious diseases. If a child has a viral cold, it usually causes a fever, and it is still a high fever. At this time, timely treatment measures should be taken, otherwise it is easy to cause complications such as pneumonia and chronic myocarditis. So, what should a 2-year-old baby do if they have a viral cold and high fever that doesn't subside?
1. Medication treatment: For high fever caused by viral colds that persist, treatment must be carried out, such as medication and injections, which are commonly used treatment methods. If the high fever persists, it is easy to trigger other illnesses. Treatment should be based on the type of virus, and if treated promptly, the condition can usually stabilize within three days. If caused by a special virus, the duration of fever will be longer.
2. Physical therapy. Parents can use some physical cooling methods while their children receive injections or take medication, and they also need to pay attention to keeping their children warm and protected from the cold. Especially during seasonal changes, there is a significant temperature difference between morning and evening, so parents should take good care of their children.
3. Pay attention to isolation: During the period when the child is sick, do not take the child out except to the hospital, and do not go to crowded places. Otherwise, children are prone to contracting some viruses. If there is another infection, it will make the condition even more complicated and lead to worsening of the disease.
