What causes a baby's fever? How to deal with a baby's fever

The baby's health and life is something that every parent needs to pay attention to, so what should we do when the baby has a fever? Today, the editor has sorted out some reasons for the baby's fever and how to deal with the baby's fever.

1. Non-disease factors:

The body temperature of infants is easily affected by external factors: high temperature (heat stroke), wearing too many clothes, insufficient water intake, water loss (sweating, diarrhea), poor ventilation in the room, before and after strenuous exercise, the effects of certain special drugs, and other factors such as preventive injections may also cause fever. If the body temperature is unstable, the possibility of illness should be considered.

2. Disease factors:

The most common cause of fever in infants under 3 months old is bacterial infection (such as group B streptococcus); other causes such as respiratory tract, urinary tract, gastrointestinal tract infection or otitis media can also cause fever. The most serious infectious disease is sepsis. Therefore, when a newborn has a fever, it is necessary to take it to a doctor for examination for early diagnosis and early treatment.

1. The baby's normal body temperature is between 36.5 degrees and 37.5 degrees. If you think your baby has a fever, you should first take the baby's temperature.

2. Babies are prone to crying when they have a fever. Using a pacifier thermometer is the easiest way to measure a baby's temperature, and it is also the most comfortable way for the baby. Put the pacifier in the baby's mouth for about 3 minutes to warm the thermometer. Press the switch button to turn on the thermometer, and keep the pacifier in the baby's mouth until the prompt sound is heard. At this time, the screen shows the baby's temperature.

3. If the baby has just drunk hot or cold drinks, the pacifier thermometer may be inaccurate. At this time, you can use a digital thermometer to measure the temperature.

4. Depending on the baby's condition, mothers can choose to use the rectal temperature measurement method, which is more accurate. Turn on the thermometer, lubricate the tip of the thermometer with water-soluble paste, and use one hand to separate the baby's buttocks. Use the other hand to gently slide the tip of the thermometer into the rectum no more than 12 mm. The thermometer will make a sound to indicate that it is inserted in place. Then take out the thermometer and read the temperature.

5. If the baby's temperature is high, the mother should make an objective assessment first, such as whether the baby has just taken a hot bath, or the weather is too hot, or the baby is wearing too many clothes, or the indoor ventilation is poor, etc. The mother can take off the baby's outer clothes and open the doors and windows to maintain ventilation.

6. Generally speaking, if the baby's body temperature does not exceed 38.5 degrees, it is not recommended to take antipyretics. You can feed the baby more water to increase the baby's urine volume and promote the excretion of toxins in the baby's body.

7. Wiping the whole body with a warm towel is also a good way to cool down, suitable for all babies with fever. Each wiping time should be more than 10 minutes. The key areas to wipe are the wrinkles of the skin, such as the neck, armpits, elbows, groin, etc.

8. If the baby's body temperature exceeds 38.5 degrees for a long time, he must be sent to the hospital for treatment immediately to avoid delaying the disease.

1. Boiling disinfection method:

This method is commonly used in life, that is, boil water. Then put the baby bottles, nipples, milk caps, etc. into the pot and boil for 3 to 5 minutes, and then take the things out. However, for plastic tableware such as baby bottles, it is not advisable to boil them for a long time, otherwise it will easily deteriorate, and inferior materials may also release toxic substances.

At the same time, some stubborn bacteria cannot be eliminated by the boiling method. At this time, a disinfection cabinet is needed for disinfection.

2. Negative ion + medium temperature disinfection method:

The double-layer multifunctional embedded disinfection cabinet is designed with two layers. The upper layer is for negative ion disinfection and medium temperature drying, which can quickly clean bacteria and viruses, and is suitable for disinfecting bottles, plastics, rubber products and other utensils. The lower layer is for infrared 125°C high temperature disinfection, which is suitable for high temperature resistant tableware such as ceramics, glass, stainless steel, etc. For other tableware of the baby, you can put it on the lower layer for high temperature disinfection, and use the upper layer for disinfection of bottles, clothes, towels and toys.

Today's babies have a lot of things to use every day. And it's not easy to clean each one thoroughly, so a large-capacity disinfection cabinet is essential. The upper and lower layers can hold various tableware, toys and baby products. The upper layer is negative ion disinfection, which can quickly kill bacteria and viruses, and is suitable for medium-temperature tableware and some toys. The lower layer is 125°C high-temperature disinfection, suitable for high-temperature resistant products such as ceramics and glass.

The large-capacity design is also suitable for ordinary home users and restaurants. The intelligent detection switch can automatically shut down according to the temperature inside the cabinet, and automatically cut off the power supply after the work is completed. It also has a double-layer insect-proof net to prevent small insects from entering and prevent secondary pollution.

3. Steam pot sterilization method:

For baby bottles, they are basically not resistant to high temperatures. So generally, the baby bottles are cleaned first, and then sterilized in a steam pot. However, the steam pot automatically cuts off the power after the work is completed. If it is not used in time, it cannot guarantee that the baby bottles will not breed bacteria and be harmed by secondary pollution. Therefore, a sterilizer is better, which can be used for both sterilization and sterile storage.

This sterilizing cabinet has a dual-effect sterilization function. Physical ultraviolet rays can effectively kill bacteria without leaving any odor. The medium-temperature hot air circulation can evaporate the residual moisture on the bottles and inhibit the growth of mold. It can also store aseptically and automatically circulate sterilization throughout the day to keep it clean and hygienic at all times. The design of the appearance is also very compact and can be placed anywhere you want.

Reasonable space design can hold a whole set of tableware. The sealed cabinet body can effectively prevent the entry of small insects. Moreover, the height design is reasonable and the opening design is user-friendly, which is very convenient for taking and placing tableware. The dual-effect combination of ultraviolet light + 80 degrees Celsius thermal sterilization is also very efficient and thorough in disinfection, and is suitable for the disinfection of most tableware and baby daily necessities, making every sip of milk that the baby drinks safer and more assured.

1. The best staple food: Whole-wheat foods contain iron, vitamins, magnesium, zinc, crude fiber and other nutrients that babies need. In Western countries, whole-wheat flour is known as the best staple food ingredient. Many families use baked whole-wheat bread as their baby's staple food. If you spread some baby-specific cheese on it, the nutrition will be even richer. Although the eating habits of different countries are different, nutrition knows no borders. We can mix whole grains and flour to make staple food (such as steamed cakes), which can also provide rich nutrition for babies.

2. The best fruit: Kiwi is known as a gold mine of nutrition. It is rich in vitamin C. According to analysis, the vitamin C content of 100-420 mg of kiwi pulp is 100-420 mg, which can be called the "king of VC" among fruits. In addition, it also contains relatively rich protein, sugar, fat, calcium, phosphorus, iron and other minerals. It also contains dietary fiber and rich antioxidants, which can clear away heat and reduce fire, moisturize dryness and relieve constipation. But be careful not to give your baby too much of the seeded part in the middle of the kiwi, because this part is not easy to digest.

3. The best vegetables: Spinach provides the main nutrients for babies, including vitamin A and folic acid, as well as some vitamin C and iron. Because it has no odor, babies usually like it. Spinach has many uses. You can use it as a decoration on the side of a plate, put some ketchup on it, or use it instead of lettuce in your baby's sandwich. But remember, you can't eat it with tofu, otherwise it will affect the absorption of calcium.
