When the baby grows, there may be a lotunexplained and unexpected situations, when the mother is lost and does not know what to do. Especially the mass of fears is associated with an increase in temperature in the child. Of course, often a fever indicates problems in the body, but in some cases, fears about it are groundless.
In the first place, with hyperthermia should be evaluatedgeneral condition of the baby. If there is a combination of such symptoms as the temperature of diarrhea and vomiting in a child, then most likely it is an infectious disease, and, optionally, gastrointestinal - sometimes colds are accompanied by a similar symptom. In this case, the examination of a specialist is necessary, as soon as the treatment is started, these symptoms often lead to dehydration, which is very dangerous, especially for babies - the less body weight, the more dangerous is dehydration. Also, diarrhea and fever in a child can talk about food poisoning, less often - about any inflammatory processes and internal diseases. All these cases require immediate treatment.
The temperature in a child without symptoms can also betalk about infectious diseases. In particular, some children thus suffer from chickenpox or measles, especially at an early age: the baby's temperature rises sharply, sometimes to very high rates, and after a day or two, everything goes away. This indicates the excellent immunity of a small person. To bring down the temperature in this case is only necessary when it exceeds the 39-degree mark.
Also, a child's high fever without symptomscan talk about overheating of the baby: with a low body weight, he is not yet able to independently maintain a constant temperature in the same way as adults, and sometimes a very high ambient temperature can affect this way. In this case, you need to worry about that the baby does not come dehydration - give more water, possibly with special means from dehydration.
In early infancy, the temperature of the babywithout symptoms - rather, a normal phenomenon. It is associated with the same as yet imperfect thermoregulation in the baby, but this is only relevant for cases when the temperature does not exceed 37.5 degrees. If more - it is necessary to consult a doctor.
Now let's look at the temperature-relatedprejudices. The first of them is supposedly the necessity of immediate intake of antipyretic drugs at the slightest increase. First, you first need to assess the overall condition of the baby: if the temperature of the child without symptoms, he is alert and active, then do not by and for nothing to overload his body with medications. If the baby is bad, he is sluggish, drowsy and constantly crying, then in this case it is not necessary to make the crumb suffer and it is better to take the medicine, which, besides removing the temperature, will help to get rid of the pain.
In infectious diseases, artificiala decrease in temperature contributes to a longer course of the disease, since the temperature is nothing more than the way a body can fight disease-causing organisms, and if it is constantly lowered, it will not do any good. To bring down the temperature is only when it exceeds 39 degrees. True, there are doctors who believe that the temperature should not be knocked down in these cases in principle, but this is not entirely true. As we have already said, children still have imperfect thermoregulation, and there is no need to take risks.
Also, do not judge the severity of the diseaseon the level of temperature: its value speaks, first of all, about the state of immunity. The better the immunity, the higher the temperature rises even with trivial diseases, but they flow much faster. And on the contrary, if the temperature fluctuates within the unintelligible limits of 37-38 degrees, and the patient's condition is excruciating and languid, then immunity needs strengthening.
