CONSULT YOUR PHYSICIAN BEFORE USE!

What to do if the child has a fever? If this situation took you by surprise. And at home there is not even a banal aspirin. Or your baby has a drug allergy.

1:942 1:952

Use non-drug treatments for high fever. If your child has a high temperature, there are so many methods to deal with it.

1:1243

Remember! It is not necessary to reduce the child's body temperature if it does not exceed 38-39 degrees and the child does not tolerate this condition well. Temperature is a defensive reaction of the body.

What can you do if your child has a high fever:

1:116 1:126

Wipe with vinegar water

For a liter of water at room temperature - a tablespoon of vinegar. Ordinary vinegar can be replaced with apple cider vinegar. Rubdowns start from the chest and back, then the arms and lower half of the body. A cold napkin with acetic water is placed on the forehead. Such rubdowns can be repeated every 2 hours.

1:695

If the child sweats, it is necessary to change the linen. Make sure the baby is not wrapped up.

1:860 1:870

Wraps

This is an old, but very effective method of both lowering the temperature and cleansing the body. The skin, like the lungs, breathes and releases harmful metabolic products with sweat. Especially this function of the skin works well in children. Therefore, a full wrap is very effective for young children with acute processes.

1:1467

To do this, take a cotton cloth and soak in water or yarrow infusion. Yarrow - 2 tablespoons are placed in a glass or enamel bowl, poured with water and boiled in a water bath for 15 minutes. Cool, filter.

1:1903

Older children at this time are given diaphoretic herbs - honey, raspberries; Of course, in the absence of allergies. The stronger the sweating, the more effective the procedure. Often, sweating is delayed and appears after the second or third procedure. But wraps do not need to be done twice a day, repeat this procedure at the next rise in temperature, the next day.

1:708

At the end of the procedure, prepare a warm bath and wash the child from sweat. If the baby does not want to take a bath, wash it with a warm shower. Without wiping, wrap in a sheet, blanket and put in a crib for 10-15 minutes. Then dress in clean linen.

1:1169 1:1179

Cleansing enema

Cleanse the intestines and you will prevent the body from absorbing harmful toxic substances from the lower parts of it, which always accumulate there. After a cleansing enema, the temperature always drops by 0.5-2 degrees, the general condition of the child improves. Of course, this phenomenon is temporary, but aspirin also reduces the temperature by only 1-1.5 hours.

1:1845

We must remember! Children should not be given an enema with plain water. Rapidly absorbed from the intestines, water carries with it harmful metabolic products and they are reabsorbed into the blood.Children need to enter hypertonic solutions. The calculation is as follows: 1 tsp of salt per 1 cup of warm water. This solution removes water and feces to the outside.

1:597 1:607

Children up to 6 months it will be enough to inject 30-50 ml of the solution;

1:717

children 6-1.5 years old enter 70-100 ml;

1:782

starting from 2-3 years - one glass is enough;

1:870

enough for preschoolers 1.5 - 2 cups of solution.

1:972

Children from 12 to 14 years old inject 700-800 ml per liter of water 1-2 tablespoons of salt without a slide.

1:1112 1:1122

What to drink and feed

If the child has a temperature, give him diluted cranberry juice, blackcurrant juice, dried fruit compote. Alkaline mineral waters - 1-2 tablespoons, tea with lemon. If the baby asks for food, then in addition to drinking plenty of water, you can feed whole grain porridge (buckwheat, rice, oatmeal) but without butter and milk, crackers, baked apples, biscuit cookies, fruits, vegetables.

1:1833

It is better to introduce meat and dairy food gradually, provided that the temperature steadily decreases and the general condition improves.

WHAT YOU CAN AND DO NOT DO WITH A HIGH TEMPERATURE IN A CHILD (7 golden rules)

1:421

Is there any benefit to high temperatures? Undoubtedly! Fever is a response to infection, a protective mechanism that helps the body fight viruses, with an increase in body temperature, protective factors are produced in the body

1:841 1:853

1. How and when to bring down the temperature of a child

1:954

We knock down if it is above 38.5 - 39. Your task is to reduce T to 38.9 C in the ass (38.5 C in the armpit).

1:1134

To lower T, use paracetamol (acetaminophen), ibuprofen. Never use aspirin, especially if your child has chickenpox.

1:1390

Undress the child (do not wrap!). Don't forget the cool, fresh air in the room.

1:1562

To reduce T, you can also use cool baths (water temperature corresponds to normal body temperature).

1:233

Do not use alcohol rubs, especially on young children. Remember, alcohol is poison for a child.

1:432 1:442

2. Why don't paracetamol and ibuprofen always work?

1:558

The fact is that all drugs in pediatric practice are calculated on the weight of a particular child. The drugs must be taken, correctly calculating the dose for the weight of a particular child, using special measuring syringes. Manufacturers, especially cheap paracetamol, for some reason underestimate doses, and focusing on the recommendation - "from 6 months to 3 years" is also not reasonable, since it is not one dose of the drug may be suitable for a child weighing 8 to 18 kg.

1:1387 1:1397

3. How to take antipyretics correctly?

1:1494

(We calculate the dose of the drug) Paracetamol (Panadol, Efferalgan, Cefecon D) single dose of the drug - 15 mg / kg. That is, for a child weighing 10 kg, a single dose will be 10 kg X 15 \u003d 150 mg. For a child weighing 15 kg - 15X15 = 225 mg. This dose can be given up to 4 times a day if needed. Ibuprofen (nurofen, ibufen) Single dose of the drug 10 mg/kg. That is, a child weighing 8 kg needs 80 mg, and weighing 20 kg - 200 mg. The drug can be given no more than 3 times a day. The drugs reduce the temperature within an hour and a half, by about 1-1.5 degrees, one should not expect a decrease in temperature to the “normal” of 36.6.

1:2535

4. What drugs SHOULD NOT be given to a child

1:102

Analgin (metamisole sodium). The use of the drug in the civilized world is not approved due to its high toxicity, inhibitory effect on hematopoiesis. In Russia, it is widely used, especially in emergency situations, as part of a "lytic mixture". Perhaps a single administration of the drug in conditions where other, safer drugs are not available. But the constant intake of analgin with each rise in temperature is absolutely unacceptable. Aspirin (Acetylsalicylic acid) - the use of the drug in children under 12 years of age with viral infections is prohibited due to the possible development of toxic encephalopathy with liver damage - Reye's syndrome. Nimesulide (Nise, Nimulide) - was widely advertised as an antipyretic in children a few years ago due to gaps in the legislation. Temperature drops remarkably. Produced only in India. In the civilized world, use in childhood is prohibited due to the possibility of developing severe liver damage (toxic hepatitis). At the moment, the use of the drug in children under 12 years of age in Russia is prohibited by the Pharmaceutical Committee.

5. You can't!

1:45

- apply cold objects to the "temperature" body of the child - this provokes a spasm of the skin vessels. And if a decrease in skin temperature occurs, then the temperature of the internal organs, on the contrary, increases, which is extremely dangerous.

1:545

- Do not rub with alcohol or vinegar, since through the skin these substances enter the body of the child, which means that poisoning is possible.

1:804 1:814

6. What to do with "white fever"? Is there any benefit to high temperatures?

1:967

Undoubtedly! Fever is a response to infection, a protective mechanism that helps the body fight viruses, with an increase in body temperature, protective factors are produced in the body. If your baby's skin, despite the high temperature, is pink and moist to the touch, you can be relatively calm - the balance between heat production and heat loss is not disturbed. But if at a high temperature the skin is pale, the hands and feet are cold, and the child is chilled, then this is a “white fever”, in which vasospasm occurs. The cause may be damage to the central nervous system, lack of fluid, decreased pressure, and other reasons.

1:2109

For white fever:

1:47

1) Try to give half a tablet of Nosh-pa and intensively rub the cold extremities of the child with your hands. Keep in mind that antipyretics will not begin to act in full force until the vasospasm has passed. Be sure to call an ambulance - they will inject the "lytic mixture"!

1:557

2) Eliminate any methods of physical cooling - rubbing, wrapping in cold sheets, etc.! Your child already has a spasm of skin vessels.

1:858 1:868

7. What form of medicine to choose?

1:947

When choosing the form of the medicine (liquid medicine, syrup, chewable tablets, suppositories), it should be borne in mind that drugs in solution or syrup act after 20-30 minutes, in suppositories - after 30-45 minutes, but their effect is longer. Candles can be used in a situation where the child vomits when taking liquid or refuses to drink medicine. Candles are best used after a child's bowel movements, they are convenient to enter at night.
