Fever can affect on the human body

People usually refer to the unusually high body temperature as fever. Fever patients is helpful or harmful? People continue to study this issue for a long time. Some people think that fever is a defensive reaction of the human resistance and elimination of bacteria; also observed temperature rises are many adverse effects to the human body. Current medical research confirmed that fever is one of the many early disease defense response, can enhance the body\'s ability to resist infection, such as making the antibodies to combat bacteria increase, enhance human leukocyte activity to eliminate toxins and detoxification of the liver toxin, and so on, so as to resist invasion of pathogenic micro-organisms on the human body, and to promote human health.

But harm to human body there is a certain heat. If high fever continued for too long, can be adjusted so that the body of the organs, organizations function disorders, so as to endanger the child\'s health. Adverse effects on human body fever mainly in the following areas:

Heat allows human ingestion of various nutrients in vivo metabolic enhancement, fast, thereby greatly increasing body oxygen consumption, increasing the workload of the body organs, which can lead to organ failure.

When 1, fever, the body produces too much heat, must speed up the cooling of the body, to adjust the temperature as possible, leading to Increased heart rate, increase the burden of heart.

2, high fever can also be overly excited in the cerebral cortex, children can be characterized by restlessness, headache, and even convulsions; can also be caused by the cerebral cortex of a high suppression, manifestations such as delirious speech, drowsiness, coma. Infant performance more prominent, most infants with high fever occurs when mind trance, also part of the infantile hyperpyretic convulsion occurs. Hyperpyrexia convulsion can have adverse effects on brain development of infants.

3, high fever can also affect human digestion. Sometimes slow gastrointestinal movement, the patient appears appetite, abdominal distension and constipation; sometimes gastrointestinal motility enhancing, even in patients with diarrhea dehydration.

4, sustained high fever would result in a reduced capacity of the human body defense disease, it will not only not conducive to the recovery of disease, but increases the risk of secondary infection.

Understanding of the adverse impact of the high fever in children, while parents can know which exception in high fever in children and, on the other hand can be based on those given appropriate care, without panicking. In addition, during the fever in children, while carefully measuring the body temperature in children of parents, should examine the patient is pale, breathing is fast, with or without nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, there is no change of mind, and with or without convulsions occur, if such is the case, immediately to the hospital.
