What to do if children have a cold and fever? What is the most effective way? What medicine should children take if they have a cold and fever?

Children are usually very naughty and do not know how to take care of themselves. If parents do not take good care of their children, they will easily get sick and catch a cold. Therefore, let's learn about the most effective way to deal with children's colds and fevers. What medicine should children take for colds and fevers?

Find the cause of the cold and carry out targeted anti-inflammatory treatment. First, measure the body temperature. If the mental state is good, you can use physical cooling methods. For children with severe colds and fevers, take the children to the hospital in time. Most colds are viral infections. Antiviral and anti-inflammatory drugs can be used for treatment, which can also relieve the fever. In home care, pay attention to observe the child's body temperature changes, and the child's spirit, appetite, sleep and other general conditions. If the cold and fever are caused by bacterial infection, oral antibiotics are needed for treatment, such as pediatric cefixime granules or pediatric cefadroxil granules. If the body temperature exceeds 38.5 degrees, oral antipyretics are needed to reduce the fever, such as ibuprofen suspension.

Children with colds and fevers usually take the following types of medicine: First, antipyretics. Generally, if the body temperature exceeds 38.5℃, oral antipyretics can be taken. Commonly used ones are acetaminophen and ibuprofen. Tylenol and Motrin are commonly used in China. If the child has a history of fever and convulsions, that is, every time he has a fever, he is prone to convulsions, the standard should be appropriately relaxed. If the body temperature exceeds 38℃, he should take antipyretics in time; if the child's body temperature continues to be between 38℃-38.5℃, the body temperature does not drop significantly after physical cooling, or the child is in a bad mood, feels uncomfortable all over, etc., he can also take antipyretics for treatment. It is not necessary to stick to the standard of 38.5℃ to take antipyretics. Second, symptomatic treatment, drugs to relieve symptoms, such as cough suppressants, expectorants, asthma relievers, and nasal clearing drugs, should be selected according to the child's symptoms. Third, anti-infective drugs should be selected according to the pathogen of the infection. The judgment should be made based on the results of routine blood tests, C-reactive protein tests and other tests. The correct anti-infective drugs can be selected after the pathogen is clear. For example, if it is caused by bacterial infection, cephalosporin or penicillin drugs are needed; if it is caused by viral infection, interferon may be used; if it is caused by Mycoplasma pneumoniae infection, azithromycin or erythromycin should be used. Therefore, different anti-infective drugs are used for different pathogens.

The main reason for the baby's repeated fever is considered to be fever caused by bacterial or viral infection, which is common in acute upper respiratory tract infection, bronchitis, bronchopneumonia, etc. The baby should go to the hospital in time to check blood routine, C-reactive protein, procalcitonin, chest phase, etc. In treatment: 1. Give physical cooling, which includes warm water bath, alcohol bath, drink more warm water, etc. 2. Give drugs to cool down. If the baby's temperature exceeds 38.5℃, it is necessary to take oral Motrin, Tylenol, etc. to reduce fever and prevent high fever convulsions. 3. Give anti-infection and antiviral treatment for the primary disease. 4. If the fever recurs within 3 days and there is no obvious improvement, it is necessary to check the child's blood bacterial culture + drug sensitivity, blood smear in time to exclude sepsis and blood system diseases.

When a child has a cold, he or she has symptoms of repeated fever. This shows that the infection caused by the cold is relatively serious and the cold needs to be treated first. At this time, antiviral drugs and cold medicines need to be taken for treatment. Antiviral drugs mainly include Pueraria lobata anti-inflammatory oral liquid, Lanqin oral liquid, four-season antiviral mixture or ribavirin granules. Cold medicines mainly include Anerning granules, acetaminophen pseudoephedrine dispersible tablets or acetaminophen yellow amine granules. If the child's body temperature exceeds 38.5℃, the child also needs to be treated for fever at the same time. Children can take antipyretic and analgesic drugs, such as acetaminophen suspension. After an interval of 4-6 hours, the child can be given the medicine again once, and the medication should not exceed 4 times a day.
