The first thing you need to do is to get your hands dirty.

Children due to a lot of the body's functions are not yet developed, the body's immunity is still not high enough, in case of fever, the situation is a little serious, there will be a high fever does not go away. In that case! is very dangerous for children. So, what should be done to make the child's fever go down? What should I do if my child's fever doesn't go down?

What to do when the child's fever does not go down 1, reduce the clothing

Fever remember not to give the child through too many clothes, cover too thick quilt. This traditional "sweat" method is not conducive to the dissipation of heat, but will lead to feverish convulsions due to overheating. For many small babies, as long as the reduction of clothing can make the body temperature lower.

2, drink a lot of water

help sweating heat, in addition to water has the function of regulating the temperature, can make the body temperature down and replenish the body lost water.

3, cold compress method

This method is simple and easy to use, with a cold towel on the forehead, the towel becomes hot and then re-compressed with cold water after immersion. For older children, cold water bags or ice packs can be used to better effect.

4, the whole body warm water swabbing or bath

will be the child clothing unlocked, with warm water (37 ℃ or so) towel rubbing the whole body or bath, can make the skin vasodilatation, increase the heat dissipation; in addition to water from the surface of the body when the evaporation, but also part of the heat will be dissipated.

5, warm alcohol bath

Alcohol bath will be 70% alcohol to tap water 1 / 1, diluted water temperature of about 37 ℃ -40 ℃, in a small bowl. Bath will be closed, with gauze or soft towel dipped in the bowl of alcohol, wipe the child's palms, feet, armpits and inner upper arms and thighs, and then wipe the limbs and back. You can't wipe directly with alcohol, and this method is not suitable for infants less than 1 year old.

The causes of fever in babies 1, infectious

Including acute infections caused by viruses, bacteria, rickettsiae, protozoa, spirochetes, mycobacteria, etc., on the upper respiratory tract infections, bronchitis, pneumonia, sepsis, and a variety of acute infectious diseases, are common causes of fever.

2. Non-infectious

1. Destruction or necrosis of aseptic tissues: e.g., leukemia, intravascular embolism, burns, fractures, hematomas, absorption of blood in the abdominal or thoracic cavity.

2. Large amount of blood loss or water loss: can make the effective blood circulation to reduce the amount of heat dissipation obstacles, and thus the body temperature increases, but if the circulatory failure, the normal metabolism is stagnant, and the heat production is too little, instead of the body temperature does not rise.

3. Abnormal heat production and heat dissipation: such as convulsions and epilepsy due to persistent state of excessive heat production; due to extensive ichthyosis, generalized dermatitis, anhidrosis, or covered too tightly and too thickly due to heat dissipation disorders, etc.

4.

4. Biological agents or drug reactions: such as serum, bacterial vaccine, allogeneic proteins or certain drugs (such as sulfonamides, barbiturates, etc.) allergy.

5. Central regulatory disorders: such as certain functional hypothermia and central temperature dysregulation, high indoor temperature in the summer, the relative lack of development of sweat glands in newborns, poor heat dissipation, easy to lead to fever.
