Why cooling children with when you sweat?

When children fever, parents will actively try to cool the child, only body temperature down, parents will be at ease. General cooling measures are commonly used in the family taking antipyretic agent. Because taking them easy cooling method, and antipyretic effect is better. However, after the administration of antipyretic drug, sweating is often a large number of children with, especially when the dosage is sweating more than, parents worried by this. When children with antipyretic why sweat it?

Because heating time body temperature to rise, skin blood vessels to dilate, which bring the blood flow faster, skin temperature, and to increase the heat sink. When you continue to increase in body temperature, skin expansion is close to the greatest extent, heat of evaporation becomes the only way at this time, start to sweat as heat, to compensate for insufficient radiation, conduction and convection cooling of the skin. Under the normal conditions of temperature, each gram of water evaporated into steam to absorb 0.6 kcal of heat. Therefore, the evaporation of sweat from the skin surface lots, take away a lot of heat, is a very good thermal mode.

Administration of antipyretic agent when children with high fever, usually start sweating in a short time, and temperature decreasing. Antipyretic agents mainly by inhibiting thermoregulation hub, to increase the thermal, sweating increased, so that the temperature dropped to normal. In the administration of antipyretic drugs in children should be careful to take the dose, not because the temperature is too high and a large number of antipyretic drugs. Because antipyretic drug dose increase in sweating of the General Assembly, in children can cause exhaustion. At the same time, antipyretic agent should pay attention to drink plenty of water to facilitate perspiration cools, and prevents excessive sweating caused water and electrolyte disturbances.

When children sweat more, attention needed to replenish the body fluid, at the same time to do a good skin care. If children sweat more and when it is not for drinking water, can be added by intravenous infusion liquid.
