Fever is not only a sign of illness in babies, but also a response to their body's increased resistance. When a baby has a fever, don't be too anxious. Check the cause of the baby's fever and treat it accordingly. There are many reasons that can cause a baby's fever, and it is necessary to find the cause. What's wrong with a baby having high fever at night?
Human resistance is strong during the day and relatively fragile at night. Human body temperature is also lower during the day and higher at night. If the baby does not have a fever during the day, a high fever at night may be caused by a viral or bacterial infection. For this situation, in addition to using antipyretic drugs for the baby, it is also necessary to find the cause and treat it accordingly in order to completely eliminate the high fever.
If a baby experiences high fever at night, first use physical methods to cool down, such as wiping the whole body with warm water, giving the baby a warm water bath, or using ice packs to cool down. If none of these methods have ideal cooling effects, antipyretic drugs such as antipyretic patches, antipyretic suppositories, and oral antipyretic drugs can be used.
In addition to reducing fever, it is also necessary to give the baby plenty of water and replenish fluids as a cooling method. In addition, it is important to keep the baby warm and avoid catching a cold. In terms of diet, it is recommended to have a light and easy to digest food, eat small and frequent meals. If the baby is unwilling to eat, do not force them to do so and drink plenty of warm water.
