Recently, I went to the outpatient clinic a lot, and I saw many children whose body temperature exceeded 40 degrees. Some children have already received infusions during the day, and high fever of more than 40°C appears again in the afternoon or evening. Many parents are terrified and strongly request another infusion. Under my treatment, many children do not have infusions, less than an hour, children The body temperature gradually dropped.

　　I let parents go out and buy pure Water, and then put a special hypotonic oral salt for children, let them take it orally. The children were very accepting of this method. After drinking water, they went to the toilet and their body temperature gradually dropped.

　　Oral rehydration salt is not used to treat diarrhea. How can I use it for children with fever?

　　High fever children, most children will suffer from dehydration. Because of illness, the child has gastrointestinal discomfort, does not want to eat and drink water, coupled with high body temperature, such children are prone to dehydration. In addition, some parents used the "earth method" to lower the fever of their children. This soil method may be suitable for adults, but not for children.

　　There are data showing that children with high fever and ultra-high fever can cause metabolic disorders in the body and cause disturbances in the body’s environment, so proper fluid replacement can reduce the impact of dehydration on children, thereby reducing the "dehydration fever" The impact on the child''s body.

　　The hypotonic oral rehydration salt contains glucose in addition to water, sodium and potassium. The intestinal mucosa can absorb a certain amount of sodium ions while absorbing glucose, thereby increasing the absorption of intestinal fluid by the intestinal mucosa. Therefore, when the child has high fever, my personal experience is that giving the child oral hypotonic oral rehydration salt can quickly help the child correct dehydration in the body, thereby helping the child to reduce fever. Moreover, oral rehydration salts are safe and have no side effects on children.

　　Children''s high fever should be paid attention to by parents. We know that fever is a non-specific systemic stress response in the human body. Mild stress reactions such as an increase in white blood cell count (WBC) are beneficial to improve the body and resist pathogenic microorganisms. Ability, but excessive or sustained stress response often leads to increased body damage, such as high fever convulsions!

　　Non-professionals when children have high fever, do not let children resist at home without permission! Be sure to take oral Antipyretics (such as ibuprofen or acetaminophen) at the same time, immediately take the child to the hospital for inspection! Do not hesitate to give the injection, don''t hesitate! We are all children and cannot be injured! Even if the blood routine does not see the problem, nor Delegates are fine, especially if they are not lucky, they don’t think it matters. Children''s condition changes rapidly, although most children are fine, but no one can predict that your child belongs to a large probability group.

　　After treatment by a doctor, if the child still has high fever, he should go to the hospital for re-examination in time! While watching the spirit, it is important to eat a light diet and add enough fluid. When the fever is high, the child''s electrolytes are easily disturbed, such as crying with little or no tears, or less urine, and dry skin, which indicates that the child has developed obvious dehydration, and can be taken orally for children. Hypotonic? Liquid salt (sold in hospitals or pharmacies) ) Is a good method of rehydration. If you don’t want children’s rehydration salts, you can buy adult rehydration salts, which can be used after dilution. If there is no obvious dehydration, 10％ glucose water can be taken orally, a small amount of frequent service is also acceptable. However, it should be noted that without the guidance of a doctor, this method is not suitable for babies under 1 year old.

　　 In short, during illness, it is very important to add enough water to the child, but according to the situation of the child, do not force the child to drink a lot of water, follow the trend, otherwise it is easy to cause water poisoning. If you can’t drink, take your child to infusion! Don’t hesitate.

　　Remind parents that they must go to the hospital to see a doctor, do not ask or consult online. At this time, the most helpful to you is the pediatrician on duty in the hospital.
