Methods of struggle without drugs
It should be said that with these methods it is necessary to start fighting fever. If the baby has a fever, then the first thing to do is to reduce the heat production by the body and increase the heat output. It is known that when the body temperature rises only, it means that the active kid needs to be put in bed.
In the regulation of body heat production, the temperature of the inhaled air is important. Therefore, the next step is airing the room, cooling the air to an optimum level of 18 - a maximum of 21 ° C. If the baby is uncomfortable in such a room, then it must be warmer to dress, cover. But remember that moistened and cool air is an important part of fighting high temperatures.
To perform heat transfer, the body needs to sweat, which means that the baby should drink a lot. Often parents give children tea with raspberries. It should be noted that this drink strongly stimulates both urination and sweating. Thus, if we give a baby such a tea, then we even more exacerbate the loss of fluids, and now we can not do this. It is ideal during the temperature to give the child drinks that contain mineral salts, trace elements and glucose. Suitable broths of raisins, dried apricots, various compotes with sugar. By the way, sugar do not regret - in this situation, he needs a child. Tea with raspberries should be given when the baby has already received a sufficient amount of liquid.
You can do rubs or baths, i.e. immerse the child in water for several minutes. But the temperature of the water during such procedures should not be low, otherwise there will be a spasm of the skin vessels, i.e. its temperature will drop, and internal organs, on the contrary, will rise. Therefore, the baby should be in contact with water, close to 32-35 ° C. It is, indeed, the most comfortable temperature of water for its already unpleasant condition.
Let's say you decided to give the baby a medicine. If the temperature of the child does not get confused with antipyretic, then most likely, you have not performed the basic methods, which we mentioned above. Those. If my mother did not give her child time, the blood became thick with temperature. This means that the medicine will not effectively help the body.
Let us sum up: the task of parents at high temperature is to create certain conditions for the child to be able to lose heat:
- Moderately it or him to dress (1 layer not dense, passing or not admitting sweat of clothes) and to cover with a blanket;
- place the baby in a clean, cool and humid room;
- give a lot to drink.
In situations where the child's body temperature is 39 ° C or higher, the parents do enemas for them. This method can be applied, but remember that water or herbal decoction should not be cold - 32-35 ° C. The low temperature of the fluid for the enema will cause a spasm of the vessels of the large intestine.
But if nothing helps, and the temperature of 39 ° C in a child does not get off, then it's time for medicines.
When all the same need medicine?
Consider the reasons for bringing down the temperature with medications:
- If the child does not tolerate the temperature, not even very high, i.е. the kid does not eat, does not drink, lays, etc .;
- loss of fluid due to diarrhea, vomiting, or dry and warm air in the room;
- for some reason, the child does not get a drink and, accordingly, he faces dehydration;
- The presence in the baby of diseases of the nervous system: infantile cerebral palsy, epilepsy, meningitis, - that at high temperature can cause convulsions;
- if the child has a temperature of 39.5 ° C and it does not get bogged down in other ways.
What drugs should I use to help my baby?
The temperature for 39 ° C is accompanied by vasospasms, so many funds will be ineffective. For example, antipyretic candles work when the body temperature does not exceed 38.5 ° C, otherwise it is simply not absorbed anywhere. They are good for use if the child has a very low temperature in the evening, and at night it rises. To your baby normally slept well, then before going to bed he can insert a candle.
A very convenient way for children is syrups.
What to do if the temperature of the child does not get off? As a rule, antipyretics help 30-40 minutes after they are taken. If the effect does not come, then this is definitely an excuse to call an ambulance. At home, you already cope with the high temperature is not able to. The kid needs, most likely, injections.
So, we have considered the important question: what to do in case the child has a temperature of 39 ° does not go astray. Take advantage of our tips and let your children be healthy!
