Critical and family first aid

Causes of fever among children continued to be dominated by viruses, bacteria cause infections. Children and babies compared to their physical development status, contact the environment and responses are different on the infection, so performance is not the infant of fever in children.


Normal body temperature in children more than 38 degrees should be considered under the environment of fever. Childhood fever patients should note that the rash appears, because this stage patients prone to rash of sexually transmitted diseases. Otitis media is also more prone to violations of children \'s, are usually suffered after a cold, telling ear pain, sometimes on one side and pulled his ears. Ear in children can be observed with a flashlight liquid deposition within or out of, this is a very important observation.


Cough and fever is common phenomenon in children. In the event of a runny nose, sneezing occurs after 1-2 days of cough, as acute upper respiratory tract infection. Most of the acute upper respiratory tract infections caused by viruses, some also is caused by bacteria or other pathogens. Oppression of children if parents can use scoop handle tongue found pharyngeal irritation; both sides of the throat can also be seen near-spherical mass, surface roughness, sometimes white, and general tips for acute bacterial tonsillitis. This type of patients during illness, do not like swallowing, and prone to vomiting after eating, water or medicine. If throat swelling, ulcers on the surface, and a child is telling swallowing throat pain, the buccal throat inflammation may be caused by virus infection.


For children cough, but also special attention to the sound of coughing. Laborious if cough, hoarseness, like a dog barking, should be highly sceptical of acute laryngitis. Due to the higher indoor temperatures and dry air at night, acute laryngitis symptoms tend to be more obvious. For such a child, go to the hospital, must not be careless, because of laryngitis can cause throat blocked causing hypoxia in children, serious can also lead to asphyxia, and even sudden death. Children cough and fever, accompanied by breathlessness, especially when telling the chest pain, is likely to be suffering from pneumonia and other infectious diseases in the chest.


During heating, such as the child\'s cheek, gradually swelling below the ear, and refused to touch, that is typical of mumps. Mumps is one of the common respiratory tract infections in children, collective caused popular features of onset. If the patient before the fever had contacts with similar patient, possibility of contracting the disease is greater. In addition whether heating performance of the child, as long as there is with diarrhea and vomiting, drowsiness, headache, or when the head and neck pain and other symptoms are immediately to the hospital, to exclude the possibility of meningitis or encephalitis. Meningitis or encephalitis caused by either bacteria or viruses, on the development of the nervous system of children will have serious adverse effects, so parents should be especially careful.


The simultaneous occurrence of fever and diarrhea, especially with vomiting, the children\'s digestive system is infected, is a manifestation of acute gastroenteritis. For urine frequency than normal significantly increased, urine can feel pain when children, especially girls, should be suspected in urinary system infection. After cleaning the genital mutilation, with a small glass bottle of leave fresh urine checks, to assist in the diagnosis. If we could leave a discharge of urine for the first time in the morning to check meaning greater.


Hot summer, children playing in the open, exposed to sunlight exposure, the so-called \"overheating\". At this point as long as the placement of children is cool, will soon return to normal body temperature. This is caused by environmental factors in an overheated, parents than excessive tension.


For children with body temperature of over 39 degrees, parents should be especially closely. In particular significantly, shortness of listlessness, headaches, asthmatic children must arrive to the hospital in time to consult a doctor, must not advocate on their own, so as not to delay the disease lead to serious consequences.
