Chapter 681 (2/2)
Take out the thermometer from the medicine box and measure it first. It's not enough, 39 degrees.
The safety dose is more than 39 degrees, with a high fever.
”What should I do? It's burning so badly. Do you want to send it to the hospital? ” Sister-in-law Zhou is worried. Although Guo Xiang is a doctor, she is not a pediatrician. Besides, she can't have an injection at home. She must have an injection to reduce her fever with such a high fever?
”Yes, yes, I heard that a high fever would burn the child's head. There was a child in our village who had a high fever and didn't go to the hospital in time. Later, it burned and became silly.” Sister Huang also said.
”Don't talk nonsense. People's brains can't burn.” Guo Xiang said.
Many people mistakenly think that fever will burn the brain, especially children, but Guo Xiang himself is a doctor and knows that this is wrong.
There is no clinical evidence that a fever of 40 ℃ will burn the brain, but an ultra-high fever above 40 ℃ may cause febrile convulsions and convulsions. Convulsions can cause brain hypoxia and lead to brain damage. But it's usually only when you have an ultra-high fever of more than 41 degrees.
And at this time, it may be a serious bacterial infection, complicated with bacterial meningitis or sepsis.
Generally, fever will not burn the brain, but encephalitis and meningitis are harmful to the nervous system.
The tolerance limit of brain cells to high temperature is 41.6 ℃. Beyond this limit, brain cell proteins will denature due to high temperature, resulting in irreversible brain injury.
Therefore, generally, the brain will not be burned when it is burned to 39 degrees and 40 degrees.
Of course, ordinary families don't know how to deal with it. It's better to send them to the hospital so as not to delay their illness.
Guo Xiang took a stethoscope and listened to the lungs of the two children. There was no noise and no obvious physical discomfort, but his spirit was not very good.
Guo Xiang looked at the hand prints of the two children again. The children were too small and their pulse diagnosis was inaccurate. They mainly looked at the hand prints. The thenar seemed a little red.
Guo Xiang has a little bottom in his heart. The child should have a baby rash.
Infantile acute rash is a common disease in children from six months to two years old. It is caused by virus infection.
Generally speaking, breastfed babies can obtain immune factors from the mother and will not get sick within half a year. After half a year old, immune factors are gradually consumed, coupled with environmental reasons, the baby's weak resistance is easy to get sick.
Although Yiping and Yian are not breastfeeding, they have always been well fed, so they have always been in good health.
Children's acute rash, also known as children's Rose rash, almost every child will get it, but it is not highly infectious. Once they get sick, they will suddenly have a high fever between 39 and 41 degrees. The fever will be repeated. It will take three or five days to get better. When the fever subsides, they will have a rash. The red rose rash, so it is also called Rose rash.
If it weren't for the cold, infection and other reasons, almost every baby has an acute rash for the first time, but novice mothers have no experience. At this time, they often panic. When they see that the baby is always bad, they think they have a serious disease. When they go to the hospital, they often make the baby suffer more.
Infantile acute rash is a self limiting disease, which will get better in a few days. Of course, it still needs to be handled when there is a high fever. It doesn't mean to do nothing to make it better.
As long as the fever exceeds 38.5 degrees, the child should take antipyretic drugs.
Guo Xiang has found antipyretic drugs for infants and young children from the medicine box. They were ready long before they were born.
The baby seemed very uncomfortable, refused to take medicine and cried.
There was no choice but to squeeze the mouth open and fill it, and then take the bottle to let them drink more water.
Gu Sid heard the noise and came out of the room, ”what's the matter?”
”The children have a fever. It's all right. I'm taking medicine for them!” Guo Xiang said.
Looking at the child like this, Guo Xiang was naturally worried about going to work, so he called song tingshen and said that the child was ill and wanted to ask for leave. Song tingshen naturally agreed.
As soon as the child cried and made trouble, plus the medicine took effect, he soon sweated and the fever subsided.
Guo Xiang wiped the child with a towel. Before long, the child burned again.
