Patient's question:
After kindergarten, I go off work. It has always been the elderly at home taking care of the child. Now it's autumn, and I only wear a sweater, but the elderly have dressed the child in thermal underwear and cotton-padded clothes. Last night, the child's face was very red, and when I measured, it was 38.5 degrees. For several mornings in a row, the child has had a runny nose and a lot of eye discharge.What kind of assistance is needed: How should a child with a fever, runny nose, and excessive eye discharge be treated?
Doctor's answer:
According to the situation you mentioned, the child should be a bit stomach upset. It might be because the baby was over-wrapped. Pay attention not to wear most or too thick covers, as high fever can easily lead to febrile seizures in children. Therefore, it is also necessary to control the body temperature. The main methods are drug-based cooling and physical cooling. Give the child more water, eat some light porridge, and avoid spicy foods for the child. If necessary, go to a formal hospital for examination and treat according to the actual condition.
