Three taboos for children with fever in summer
Summer is a season that makes people feel hot and dry, which can easily lead to fever in children. However, parents need to pay attention to the following three taboos when they find a child has a fever.
Do not use antipyretics to cool down
Many parents are eager to use antipyretic drugs to cool down their children when they have a fever. But this approach is not advisable. Because drugs can have adverse effects on children\’s liver, kidneys and other organs, long-term use may even lead to dependence on them. Moreover, unnecessary use of antipyretics will affect the judgment of the condition and lead to delay in treatment time.
Don’t go to the hospital for infusion easily
When their children have a fever, some parents choose to go to the hospital for infusions to relieve symptoms. However, this approach cannot solve the root cause of the disease, and easy infusion will damage the child\’s health. Parents can choose to perform physical cooling and traditional Chinese medicine conditioning first, moderately control their children\’s diet, and give their children enough water to help cool down the body and relieve symptoms.
Don’t cover your child with too many clothes
When children have a fever, parents are often used to covering their children with a lot of clothes, thinking that this will help their children keep their bodies warm. However, this will cause the child\’s body temperature to increase and aggravate the fever symptoms. The correct approach is to let children wear light cotton clothes that are breathable and facilitate the dispersion of sweat.
What should you pay attention to when turning on the air conditioner
When the summer heat comes, air conditioners have become the \”savior\” for many people, but there are also some issues that parents need to pay attention to when turning on air conditioners.
Pay attention to the air conditioner temperature setting
When many parents turn on the air conditioner, they will adjust the temperature very low in order to cool down as soon as possible. However, this will increase the difference in indoor and outdoor temperatures, which is not conducive to the adaptation of the child\’s body. Therefore, parents should adjust the temperature appropriately according to the actual situation of their children, so that their children\’s bodies can gradually adapt to the indoor temperature changes.
Pay attention to the temperature difference between indoor and outdoor
When the air conditioner is turned on, the temperature difference between indoor and outdoor is often relatively large. At this time, parents need to control their children\’s activity time to avoid excessive indoor temperature changes that may cause discomfort to their children. Parents can also use auxiliary equipment such as humidifiers to help regulate air humidity and reduce the irritation of indoor temperatures to children\’s bodies.
Pay attention to the cleaning and maintenance of air conditioners
When using air conditioners, parents need to clean and maintain the air conditioner regularly to prevent filters and other components from being contaminated, affecting air quality and thus affecting the health of their children. At the same time, you should also pay attention to the usage time of the air conditioner to avoid using it continuously for too long, which will affect the health of your children.
Summary
Summer is the season with the highest incidence of fever in children. Parents should pay attention to their children\’s diet and sleep to control fever symptoms in a timely manner. When turning on the air conditioner, you need to pay attention to the air conditioner temperature, the indoor and outdoor temperature difference, and the cleaning and maintenance of the air conditioner to avoid adverse effects on the child\’s health. Only when parents pay attention to these problems can they protect their children\’s health to the greatest extent.
