Parents must know that body temperature + fever treatment
New Life report, with a total delight to bring their parents, but "everything has a son foot" at the back, is a series of hectic and worries. Newborn baby, the hub functions as body temperature regulation has not yet fully developed, body temperature significantly higher than for adults; baby's body temperature once the case, in the end non-pathological fever? Fever or infection? Often let their parents perplexed. The doctor suggested, the correct body temperature, carefully observe the child activity of the face of "hot potato", you do not have to panic!
Many childhood diseases, "fever" is one of the most common symptoms in the pediatric clinic doctors, at least more than 80% of children, based on fever as a chief complaint.
In fact, the "fever" is a children's physical as a "sign" response, not all diseases can cause fever in children; Similarly, when the child's temperature exceeds the normal standards, not necessarily due to illness. Taiwan Adventist Hospital, Maternal and Child Health Education Unit nurse Chen Yumei pointed out that in the neonatal brain, the hypothalamus in thermoregulation center has not yet fully mature; with the baby's metabolism than adults, strong, very strong role in manufacturing the body heat, so kids body temperature, than adults in general will also come high.
Wrong tune "thermostat" Children temperature soared straight
Experts point out that control of the human body temperature regulation center, located in the brain's hypothalamus, in the normal state, body temperature was controlled at a more stable, within reasonable limits. Heat production and heat affect the human body are many factors that anything, including ambient temperature, mood, stress, diet, dress, exercise, disease, etc., will affect the body's normal body temperature regulation.
Experts said the body cells in order to maintain normal functioning of the body will be automatically located in the brain through the hypothalamus of the "temperature regulation center", the temperature set at normal, reasonable and fixed range. The reason may cause a fever, is because when the virus or bacteria invade the body, it will release a number of medium and toxins in the body temperature changes in the brain center, so that the brain's thermoregulatory center resulting temperature of miscarriage of justice. The baby should be a normal body temperature 37 degrees fishes, but the human body similar to the "constant temperature device" central thermoregulation disorder will lead to the misconception that the brain's body temperature 39 degrees or higher is normal. The expert further explained that due to illness caused by the mechanism of fever, to be preceded by bacterial or viral invasion of the body, resulting in some of the media-induced changes in body temperature, and then through the blood circulation, reach the brain, the hypothalamus in thermoregulation center to re-set laying the groundwork for the temperature baseline. When the body's normal body temperature settings by bacteria, viruses and other pathological factors, to change the original standard; the brain but also the message through to the muscles and skin to the body by shivering, vasoconstriction, playing chills, and other physiological responses, expression of fever.
Experts stress that children are not just sick, they will present with fever, "even without a fever, there are likely to be a serious disease." In addition, the fever higher the temperature, does not mean that the more severe the disease, fever, just one of many diseases, in the process of derivative phenomenon, is a self-protective effect, does not mean that the severity of the disease.
