As practice shows, young children heat heat much better and easier than teenagers and adults. Therefore, it is necessary to apply emergency measures to eliminate temperature only if it brings discomfort to the child, the child is visibly nervous, is harmful, suffers, refuses food and drink, does not sleep well, or convulsions begin. If the child is very small, it is best for him to put a febrifuge. This antipyretic method is good because candles do not penetrate the gastrointestinal tract, but directly into the blood. Therefore, do not irritate the tender mucous membrane of the child. In addition, many syrups and tablets can cause allergy to additives and dyes that are present in them. In the case of candles, these unpleasant moments can be avoided. But if an older child or teenager falls ill, it will be uncomfortable to use candles. Because in this case you can use antipyretic syrups and tablets. Many syrups, besides antipyretic components, contain painkillers. Therefore, it is advisable to give such syrups to a child if he has a fever on the background of sore throat or otitis. Before using any medication, you should carefully study the instructions and strictly follow it to avoid the side effects of an overdose. Because, first of all, the liver of a child can suffer from this.
Children under 12 years are strictly forbidden to knock down the temperature with aspirin. The use of aspirin in childhood can lead to the fact that the child has disrupted the function of the brain and liver (Reye's syndrome). Therefore, to avoid any health problems, the medicine should be prescribed only by your doctor.
But it can happen that the child is sick, and access to the doctor for various reasons is limited. Here, various means of traditional medicine can help you.
If the child has a high fever, he needs a lot of fluids. He is very sweaty. Better to let it be tea with raspberries, linden, chamomile, compote of dried fruits, or plain water. If the child's temperature only rises, then it will freeze. Then it should be covered with a blanket, but it is not worth wrapping, because there must be an outlet for heat.
You can take a cold bath. But you need to do this with knowledge and better consult a specialist.
Very quickly, you can remove the heat by rubbing with cool water with the addition of vinegar. In such water you need to wet a towel and wipe all the limbs of the child, first the feet and hands, then the legs and hands, then the stomach and back.
I hope these tips will help you not to worry and adequately reflect the "temperature" blow. But I do not advise you to treat the cause of the disease myself. We have no right to expose the health of a small child to danger, and therefore at the first opportunity should call a doctor.
Be healthy!
