A one year old baby has already started learning to walk, and walking unsteadily every day is also a very cute thing. But the baby's resistance is still very weak, and they may still experience diseases such as colds and fever. If a baby has a very severe high fever, parents will also be particularly afraid. What should be done if a one year old baby has a high fever of 40 degrees?
When a baby has a high fever of 40 degrees, it indicates that the child's physical condition is in a critical stage. At this time, it is necessary to find ways to help the baby reduce fever, and antipyretics are the fastest way to reduce fever. But there are regulations on how much dose of antipyretic medication babies should take and what antipyretic medication they should take. Professional pediatricians need to supervise medication according to the child's condition.
A high fever of 40 degrees in a baby is not just a simple problem of high fever, but also requires understanding the cause. If the cause is not clear, even if the child's fever subsides after taking antipyretic medicine, there will still be recurrent fever. Recurrent fever is actually torture for the child and makes parents feel tired. Therefore, when the baby has a fever, it is necessary to undergo a blood routine test to see what factors are causing the fever.
When a one year old baby has already developed a high fever of 40 degrees, it is no longer recommended for parents to handle the baby's fever themselves. It is best to immediately take the baby to the hospital for a doctor to handle it. If a baby continues to have a high fever without proper treatment, it is easy to burn out their brain and cause them to become foolish.
