Why does the baby have a fever? Why does the baby have a fever?

The immune system of young children is not fully developed yet, so they can get sick if they are not careful. Today, the editor will share with expectant parents about baby's fever. What are the reasons for baby's fever? Let's learn about it through the article.

1. External factors:

The baby's body temperature is affected by the external environment. For example, wearing too many clothes when it is hot, drinking too little water, and poor ventilation in the room may all affect the baby's body temperature.

2. Internal factors:

Your baby's cold, tracheitis, sore throat or other diseases may cause fever.

3. Other factors:

Such as preventive injections, including measles, cholera, diphtheria, pertussis, tetanus and other reactions.

Parents should understand that fever is only one of the symptoms of a disease, not all of them. In many cases, the baby may have a fever caused by other diseases, but parents rush to reduce the baby's fever when the baby starts to have a fever, which affects the baby's condition. The real approach should be to let the fever symptoms continue to manifest in order to explore the real cause of the baby's fever.

The main reason why babies have fever is that bacteria or viruses invade the baby's respiratory tract, causing the baby to have a respiratory infection and fever. When the baby has a fever, you should try to avoid letting the baby go to crowded places, because there are more bacteria in crowded places, which can easily make the baby's fever symptoms more serious. At the same time, you should also let the baby drink more water to promote the excretion of bacteria, so that the fever can get better faster. In addition, another reason for the baby's fever is cold. The baby's immunity is relatively weak and there is not much resistance, so it is easy to catch a cold because of the cold. When the cold reaches a certain degree, a fever will occur. In this case, the baby should take some cold treatment medicines. If the body temperature is higher than 38.5, some antipyretic drugs need to be taken orally to control the condition.

When the baby has a fever, if the mental state is good, eating and sleeping are not particularly affected, and the fever is not very high, there is no need to deliberately treat it. Keep the room temperature between 24 and 26 degrees, put a comfortable pure cotton single clothing on the baby, and the mother should breastfeed the baby in small amounts or give the baby some water in time. If the baby is sleepy, he should rest more, and the fever will naturally subside slowly. If the temperature exceeds 38.5℃, give some antipyretic medicine, let the child sleep after taking it, and the body temperature will gradually drop. There are many reasons for the baby's fever, such as colds, diarrhea, vaccinations, and wearing too much. There is no need to worry about these fevers. Just follow the above suggestions for care. If you feel more serious, you must see a doctor immediately to avoid delaying the condition.
