Many parents say they would rather suffer for their children. Yes, parents are the ones who feel most distressed when their children are sick.
Every child is the treasure of their parents, and many mothers have said that they are unwilling to let go on a large scale. The consequences of letting go will harm their children.
But there are some diseases that cannot be avoided. Now that they are here, we must be strong and accompany our children to face them. A few days ago, my 3-year-old baby became positive with us, and her symptoms were different from ours. We had sore throat, fever, cough, and sore throat. She only had the symptoms of high fever and lack of strength.
On the first day
the child suddenly started to have a fever in the middle of the night. asked me to take off her quilt in a daze. I also wondered why she asked me to take off the quilt for her because she usually kicks the quilt when she is hot. As a result, when I touched my forehead , it was boiling hot. I knew that she was also infected, so I quickly gave her ibuprofen in the middle of the night. The child did not resist in the middle of the night and got up to drink it obediently. htmlThe child's fever subsided in more than 130 minutes, and he slept until morning.
The next day
The child had no other symptoms the next day. She was still in a fever state and the temperature continued to be between 138-40℃. When she was a little better, she still read books, listened to stories, played games, and ran around in the living room. But when I had a high fever, became wilted and only wanted to be in my arms.
In the afternoon, the child drank ibuprofen, but his fever persisted, and his ears, neck, and forehead burned red. We had no choice but to keep physically cooling him down. However, the 3-year-old child was unwilling to wear fever-reducing patches, and sometimes his cooperation was not very high. After taking some medicine at night, her fever finally subsided temporarily.
On the third day
I basically had no fever on the third day. But it seems that my body does not have much strength and I am not interested in doing things . Whether it is reading or playing with toys, I must have someone to accompany me. But all other physical symptoms are gone, and they go away as quickly as they come.
Many people ask me if I have children at home, especially such younger children, Is there anything I should pay attention to if they are "yang"? I have summarized some of my methods, hoping to help parents.
1. Pay attention to the child's temperature at all times.
Children who are "yang" are prone to high fever. Parents should pay attention to their children's temperature changes at all times. It is best to measure the child's temperature every 30 minutes. , and children are not willing to cooperate with temperature measurement . Therefore, it is not recommended to use mercury thermometer to measure the baby's temperature.
You can choose a forehead thermometer instead, but the actual temperature of the forehead thermometer is slightly lower than the normal temperature. When the child's temperature is greater than 38.5°C, you can drink antipyretics. When the child's temperature is less than 38.5°C, parents don't have to worry too much. And this time of "Yang", children's temperatures are generally relatively high. If the temperature persists after drinking medicine, try physical cooling.
2. Pay attention to the child's appetite
Parents may find that their child is "yang", has no appetite, and is listless. So if his appetite decreases, don’t be too harsh. It is normal for children to be uncomfortable and unwilling to eat. Make him some light porridge for the child to drink. In addition, drink a bag of milk every day. At the same time, the child should also eat fruit. You can squeeze it into juice for the child to drink. You can supplement vitamin and protein .
3. Pay attention to reminding children to drink more water
My child does not like to drink water. Even though she has a high fever and is short of water, she is still unwilling to drink more, so I can only coax her to drink water. Give your children timely rehydration. And drink it in small amounts and often.
Of course, you can drink boiled water at this stage, or you can drink orange water, lemon water, etc. Replenish the water your body needs.You can also drink juice, or even a little yogurt.
4. Pay more attention to patience and companionship
I found that when my child is sick, she especially likes me to accompany her to do everything. Normally she can do almost everything by herself, but when she is sick, she suddenly becomes a 1-year-old baby who wants to be held and coaxed by her parents. 's temper is much louder than usual, so we should be more accommodating.
The above are some of my personal experiences, I hope they can help parents.
