Fever is a reaction that occurs when the human body encounters pathogenic microorganisms, and is a warning signal for the body's condition. Many young children have weak physical resistance and often experience fever. Parents need to take good care of them to prevent them from experiencing fever again. However, some people believe that a fever in young children is a sign of physical growth. So, why do young children grow taller when they have a fever?
In fact, a fever in young children is not related to their physical growth, and parents should not believe such rumors. The physical growth of young children is a natural physiological phenomenon, which is related to their nutrition, sleep, exercise, and other factors. Fever in young children can be divided into physiological fever and pathological fever. If there is physiological fever, it often occurs when they wear too much clothing, cover themselves with too many blankets, or when the indoor temperature is too high.
But if it is a pathological fever, parents need to take physical cooling measures in a timely manner to lower the child's body temperature. It is usually recommended that parents use warm water wiping and cold compress on the forehead to promote a decrease in the body temperature of young children. If their body temperature does not drop, parents should take them to the hospital for examination and treatment. Under the guidance of a doctor, administer medication to young children.
If parents want their children to grow taller, they should encourage them to exercise more, but before exercising, they should pay attention to warming up and avoid physical injuries. Secondly, after exercising, parents should encourage their children to stretch, which can promote their bone growth. Moreover, parents should pay attention to their diet and encourage them to supplement calcium and vitamins appropriately to ensure that they have sufficient nutrition, which is beneficial for their physical growth.
