As the temperature is also the child's hyperactivity, excessive clothing, ambient temperature is too high, and because eating crying can also cause a temporary increase in body temperature, when the body of a child in good condition, there is no subjective symptoms. However, younger children, the central nervous system function of temperature regulation worse, plus my son's body surface area is relatively large, healthy skin and sweat glands are not developed, so the child's temperature is easy to fluctuations. If the children underarm temperature reached 37.5 ℃, then the emergence of some symptoms, signs, a child can be diagnosed pathological fever. General 37.5 --- 38 ℃ for the low-heat ,38.1 - 39 ℃ for moderately hot ,39.1 - 40 .4 ℃ high fever, <40.5 ℃ ultra-high heat.

Although fever is the body defenses against diseases, and adaptation to internal and external environment as a compensatory response to abnormal, but if you heat too long, so that in vivo regulatory function of disorders, then the child's health threat. Hence the need for timely processing.

How to choose antipyretics

The past many doctors like to use "A benzene film." It is a composite of aspirin and phenobarbital preparations, antipyretic effect is good, but also to calm, especially for children of febrile seizures is more likely to be welcomed. However, because aspirin can cause bruising of neonatal disease, also liable to cause bleeding in infants (umbilical bleeding, vomiting blood, blood in the stool), and foreign countries have been reported as taking aspirin to children Reye's syndrome (acute encephalopathy Hepatic steatosis as a serious illness), so now many countries abroad, the provisions of disabled infants and young children. Although there is no clearly defined in China, but need to be used with caution.

"Analgin" Because infants and young children can cause neutropenia, resulting in kidney damage, easily lead to allergic reactions, injection and oral administration has been seldom used, has limited domestic use, but some of the hospital also uses analgin intranasal use on a child under the age of two, but it needs caution. Because intranasal can also cause more damage.

Compound Aminopyrine called Antongding, which contains aminopyrine blood leukocytes can be reduced, if repeated use, can lead to reduction in granule cells levy or acute hemolytic anemia, so infants and young children is disabled.

World Health Organization does not recommend children under 2 months the use of antipyretic drugs, can use physical cooling.

For infants and young children recommends the use of antipyretics is as follows:

Is mainly used to plug the anus, from intestinal absorption, the effect quickly and refused to take medicine for the children of fever is very convenient, but the amount of large or multiple use or a sudden drop in temperature likely to cause the child diarrhea.

In fact, parents can also choose a number of proprietary Chinese medicines for children fever, but it should be noted indications.
