HOW TO FIGHT FEVER IN CHILDREN

Colds, blocked nose and connected with a cough, this is usually most effective formula to cause fever: (. Mommies would've prepared a thermometer right? The most accurate was the mercury thermometer. But it is not practical if yah need to measure several times in a short time. More a practical digital thermometer. But it must be selective indeed, because digital thermometer much less accurate.

When the child had a fever, the thermometer is important around the bed because the temperature of the child should always be monitored. From the plot the ups and downs of fever, the doctor also helped in making the diagnosis. There is a disease whose features high heat, hard to go down unless dikasi fever. There is also the heat up and down, where it entered the critical phase of decline, such as dengue hemorrhagic fever.
What is a fever it really? Fever is the body's mechanism to fight infection. The infection can be diseases or disorders of other things (teething in children for example). Seedling disease will be weakened and destroyed at high temperature environment. Because of that fever need to turn off the disease. When the fever down when the disease is not fully destroyed, the body temperature will rise again triggered the persistence of seeds disease.
Often lower body temperature with a drug to make a defense against disease so disturbed. Proverbial would be taken only weapon of war. Which should instead be healed three days longer.
Basic benchmark in body temperature that require intervention are: ◦ Infants under the age of 3 months with temperatures above 38 º C ◦ Infants aged 3-6 months with temperatures above 38.5 º C ◦ Baby and children over age 6 months with temperatures above 39 º C ◦ Watchlist extra for children with febrile seizures talent I myself was a child over 6 months still trying to survive the body temperature in the range of 39 º C, as long as the child does not indicate severe anxiety. If fussy and somewhat limp still definitely yes, his name is again ill. But while it is quiet enough to sleep for a minimum of two hours each time, I choose home treatment first before giving paracetamol.
Here are the steps home treatment: ◦ fluid intake. Adequacy of fluid during fever, prevent children (and adults too) from dehydration. On the other hand, dehydration alone causes an increase in temperature. So enough fluid can stabilize body temperature, though not drastically lowered. Many drinks also stimulates the body to sweat which then also would slightly lower the temperature. Fluid intake guns here ya aja cuman drinks. Food berkuah much, popsicles, fruit ice and fruit, homemade jelly, and the like also contains a lot of water. ◦ Soaking in warm water. The effect is similar to compress, but reduce fussiness because if a child while playing water is usually more calm than have to put a cloth compress. ◦ Oiya, moms already know ya if not compress it with cold water / water ice, but with warm water or lukewarm? Cold pack (including products compress paste to put in the fridge before it), would send the wrong signal to the body that have body parts that are still too cold. So the body actually will further increase its temperature to compensate for the still cold. Compress will also be more effective when the compressed actual armpit than the forehead is the hottest point of the body because there are actually in the armpit, under the tongue, and anus. ◦ When children are very restless, fussy, guns could be fast asleep at least an hour, may indeed need medication to relieve fever heat. So far, only paracetamol is still considered the most secure as a reliever heat and pain in children and pregnant women (for example: Sanmol, Tempra, Panadol, Dumin). In the recommended dosage of course yaa. ◦ ibuprofen-based lowering of heat (for example: Proris) and acetylsalicylic acid / asetosal (eg: Aspirin / Bodrexin / Contrexyn) can cause side effects including stomach ulcers because the drug is quite hard. Aspirin has even forbidden for children under 18 years because of long-term side effects of Reye's syndrome. When choosing a drug, alcohol content also note yes Mom.


When to see a doctor? When the fever has not gone down after 72 hours without any other symptoms that follow and have done a urine test to write off the possibility of UTI (urinary tract infection).
The average fever lasts two or three days. New fever lasts 1-2 days without other symptoms and without a urine test or blood test, diagnosis can not be enforced. In this situation usually the doctor will only give a general medicine and not specific to a particular disease. Drugs become ineffective and only aggravate the metabolism without definite results and effects.
Simple benchmark for common fever (still do cross check to the doctor to anticipate a more complex disease yes):
◦ If fever accompanies the cough cold, you can bet your body is fighting a common cold virus. This fever can last a week. ◦ If the fever is only late afternoon, there is the possibility of typhoid. ◦ If a child under the age of 36 months, high fever kept for 3-4 days after the normal direct himself, the child became active again, and emerged red rashes, means a child out roseola virus. While most roseola attacks children under 36 months, but over 3 years can still be attacked yes. ◦ If the rash appears similar to roseola but when the child is still hot, the possibility of measles. ◦ If the heat of 3-4 days and then the heat down but the boy even more lemes, wilting, and loss of consciousness than the time his temperature is high, there is the possibility of dengue. Hopefully this paper can help to act more effectively when the small fever yes mommies. And if there is anyone else sick, hopefully a speedy recovery:)
