A child\’s febrile convulsions repeatedly persist at 40 degrees Celsius, or she may be causing trouble!

Question 1: My child is one year and seven months old. He had a fever of 39.3 degrees Celsius at noon the day before yesterday. It has continued to have a high fever for nearly three days. The highest temperature reached 40.3 degrees Celsius early this morning. There was no cough or runny nose, just a fever. Taking antipyretics would lower the temperature, but within an hour or two the temperature rose again, with a high fever of over 39 degrees. My mental state was fine the past two days, but today my mental state is not particularly good. My bowel movements are normal, but I haven\’t eaten much for half a month. The blood test results showed viral infection and there are currently no other symptoms. Dr. Luo Zhen’s answer: If you are in a good mental state after the fever subsides and have no other symptoms, you should pay attention to children with acute rash. Generally, they will have high fever for three or four days. After the body temperature returns to normal and the rash appears on the body, everything will be fine. For the current situation, symptomatic treatment is enough. Take Xiaoer Chaigui Antipyretic Granules and Shuanghuanglian Oral Liquid. When you have high fever, take Motrin or Tylenol to reduce fever. Some clinics may use hormones and antipyretic injections, which have serious side effects on children and are not recommended. Whether it is low fever or high fever, it is the body\’s immune response. It is the process of the immune system fighting against germs, which is beneficial to the body. At present, regular treatment and normal medication are enough. If you have a high fever, take antipyretics and add physical cooling. If the fever lasts for more than four days, further examination is required to identify the pathogen and focus of infection. Pay attention to feeding your child more water to supplement the water needed for metabolism and prevent the baby from dehydration. Question 2: Hello doctor, my baby girl is just one month old and she cries intermittently from around 8 to 10 pm. What is the reason? Dr. Cui Lixia’s answer: If the crying is basically at a fixed time every day and is difficult to coax, it will be fine after this period of time. If you are considering colic, you can take Xiaoerkang Granules. Question 3: The baby spits up milk severely and does not gain much weight. The examination revealed that he has reversible gastric inversion. I want to know if this will heal on its own? Dr. Sun Cuiying’s answer: It’s hard to say, it’s not clear. Usually, when feeding your baby, try to lie forward on the right side. After feeding, hold the baby upright, pat and burp the baby. In addition, observe whether the child has any symptoms of discomfort and go to the hospital for regular check-ups.
