I believe everyone has experienced fever, which is one of the most common adverse symptoms. Babies have weaker constitutions and are very prone to developing fever. If parents find that their child has a fever, it is best to take some cooling measures in a timely manner. So, what's wrong with a baby having a fever and a hot back?
If a baby has a fever and a hot back, it usually indicates that the child's body temperature is high and the fever is severe. When the baby's body temperature exceeds 38.5 ℃, touching the child's forehead, armpits, and back can feel very hot. At this time, it is necessary to cool the child down in a timely manner.
When the fever reaches or exceeds 38.5 ℃, it is considered a high fever and requires the child to take antipyretic medication. And after the child takes the medication, the effect should also be observed. If the body temperature is still high, it is best to seek medical treatment as soon as possible to avoid prolonged high fever leading to febrile seizures.
While taking antipyretic medication for children, some physical cooling measures can also be taken, such as giving them warm baths, using antipyretic patches, and applying cold compresses, all of which have good cooling effects. Especially when used in conjunction with antipyretic drugs, the cooling effect will be even better. In addition, it is best to give more water to children during their fever period. Because a fever consumes a lot of water, replenishing water for children can prevent dehydration from occurring.
