Sometimes the baby has a high fever. When going to the hospital for examination, it is also found that the urine test red blood cells are high. Mom and dad are very worried, but they don't know the reason why the baby has this situation. Here are the reasons why I carefully sorted out for you, resulting in high fever and high red blood cells in urine test. Let's have a look.
1. cold
Common cold or influenza are the most common diseases of babies. Both bacterial and viral infections are possible.
Symptoms vary, including fever, loss of appetite, gastrointestinal discomfort, diarrhea, ear, nose and throat and other problems.
Doctors will give "symptom treatment" drugs, plus more rest and drink more water. Usually, they can recover in 3-5 days.
However, if you do not take care of it properly, you will be at risk of high fever above 39 ℃ complicated with otitis media, encephalitis, meningitis, etc.
2. Inflammation of ear, nose and throat
Ear, nose and throat problems usually have inflammation, so there will be redness and swelling, which is a virus infection.
The symptoms are changeable. The common ones are fever, cough, runny nose, red and swollen throat (the baby is usually unwilling to eat), etc.
Doctors will give "symptom treatment" drugs, plus more rest and drink more water. Usually, they can recover in 3-5 days.
The disease is easy to be complicated with otitis media, otitis media, pneumonia, etc., and there is also a risk of high fever above 39 ℃.
3. Rosette rash
It is named after rosette virus infection. Babies around the age of 1 are the easiest to get.
The typical symptom is unexplained high fever (above 39 ℃), which lasts for about 3-4 days, and then rash (the fever will subside at this time). The rash usually disappears slowly without leaving any scars or other complications. Parents don't have to worry.
4. preventive inoculation
Many babies have mild fever due to vaccination, but it is usually after the injection of "diphtheria, pertussis and tetanus" vaccine that will cause more obvious fever.
If you have physical discomfort or a cold, it is not suitable to take your baby to get a vaccine to avoid confusion of symptoms.
The fever is caused by the vaccination within 72 hours, not by the observation.
5. septicemia
It is a disease in which bacteria erode into the blood.
It is usually the result of inbreeding, poor innate immunity or the use of high-dose steroids.
Patients with sepsis have a 1 / 3 chance of meningitis, so the risk is the second.
6. urinary-tract infection
Boys and girls under 1 year old are prone to hair. Female babies are usually contaminated with feces and diapers; The male baby is caused by vesicoureteral reflux.
Except that it is easy to have a fever above 38.5 ℃, the appearance is not easy to detect.
Because it is a bacterial infection, it usually takes about 2 weeks to recover after treatment with antibiotics.
Possible complications are impaired renal function and renal suppuration.
7. Encephalitis, meningitis
Babies from 6 months to 3 years old are prone to the disease.
The most typical and threatened symptom is that it is easy to have a high fever above 39 ℃. And accompanied by mental fatigue, dull eyes, poor appetite, and even cramps.
Seeing a doctor as soon as possible is the only way. At present, the only examination method is to extract the spinal cord. (it's a safe medical practice to be carried out by professionals. Parents don't have to worry.)
Hospitalized patients with encephalitis are usually given drugs to reduce brain pressure and antiviral drugs. Patients hospitalized with meningitis need to be treated with antibiotics, which takes about 2 ~ 3 weeks to recover.
Because there will be invasive complications, such as poor hearing and vision; Insufficient intelligence; Neurological dysfunction (cerebral palsy) and even death, so the risk ranks first.
8. Wearing too much, tooth fever, summer fever
Fever caused by such causes is usually short-lived and not dangerous, but it is easy for many parents to neglect.
As long as the baby's activity and mental condition are good, the appetite is also good, and the baby's body has fever, it may just wear too much or the indoor temperature is too high. As long as the current situation is improved, there will usually be no overheating problem.
Hazard index: none (10th)
9. Gastroenteritis with dehydration
It can be divided into bacterial (Salmonella) infection and viral (rotavirus) infection. Symptoms of dehydration and vomiting (more than 38 ℃) and decreased appetite.
This disease must be hospitalized. It needs to be injected with drops of electrolyte, and its excreta also needs special isolation.
Mild condition can be cured in 3 days, but it usually takes 7 ~ 14 days.
10. Kawasaki disease
Babies aged 1-1.5 years old are the risk group of the disease, and the reason is still unknown.
There are many symptoms, such as high fever of more than 39 ℃ ~ 40 ℃ for many days; be jealous; Strawberry tongue, cleft lip, swollen hands and feet; Cervical lymphadenoma; And the part where BCG is given will be red and swollen.
Be sure to be hospitalized. Doctors will first conduct cardiac ultrasound (check whether the coronary artery is enlarged) and then give immunoglobulin treatment. It usually takes 10-14 days to recover.
After healing, there will be peeling around the limbs and anal doorway.
I. judge whether the baby has a fever
Fever refers to the abnormal rise of the baby's temperature. The mother's hand is not a thermometer and cannot accurately measure the baby's temperature. The baby's normal axillary temperature should be 36 ℃ ~ 37 ℃, and it can be considered as a fever only if it exceeds 37.4 ℃.
However, the baby's temperature often fluctuates under the influence of some factors. For example, in the evening, the baby's temperature is often higher than that in the morning. The baby's temperature will also rise temporarily after eating, crying and exercise. If the quilt is too thick and the room temperature is too high, the baby's temperature will also rise. If the baby has such temporary and small temperature fluctuation, as long as he is generally in good condition, energetic and has no other symptoms, he should not consider fever.
II. How to cool the baby with fever
Generally speaking, if the baby's temperature exceeds 38 ℃, it is a fever. If the baby has a fever, the parents should consider going to the hospital for treatment at the first time, but experts suggest that before taking the baby to the hospital, the parents can take the following emergency measures, that is, the physical cooling method for the baby's fever.
First, wear less clothes to dissipate heat for your baby.
The traditional idea is that once the baby has a fever, he should wrap the baby tightly with clothes and quilt to "force" the sweat out. In fact, this is wrong. Because children tremble when they have a fever. In fact, this is not a cold phenomenon, but a spasm caused by their rising body temperature.
Second, to help your baby cool down physically, there are the following common methods:
1. Cold wet compress on the head: wet the soft towel with cold water at 20 ℃ - 30 ℃ and squeeze it slightly to prevent dripping. Fold it and place it on the forehead and replace it every 3-5 minutes.
2. Head ice pillow: put small ice cubes and a small amount of water into the ice bag until it is half full, squeeze the ice bag, exhaust the air in the bag, press the bag mouth, and place it on the pillow after there is no water leakage.
3. Warm water wipe or warm water bath: wipe the child's head, armpits, limbs with a warm and wet towel or take a warm water bath for 10-15 minutes. Scrub the skin more to promote heat dissipation.
4. Alcohol bath: suitable for high heat and cooling. Prepare 200-300 ml of 20% - 35% alcohol and wipe and bathe limbs and back. But remember, parents should never wipe the chest, abdomen, back neck and plantar, because these parts are sensitive to cold and may cause adverse reactions. In addition, if it is a newborn or a baby, it is not suitable to adopt such a method, because their skin is thin and their capillaries are rich, which is easy to cause alcoholism after the skin absorbs alcohol.
5. Other methods: there is also a physical cooling drug patch, which can effectively alleviate children's fever.
Third, add enough water to your baby and don't take medicine casually.
When the baby has a fever, his breathing increases rapidly and sweating makes the body lose a lot of water. Therefore, when the baby has a fever, parents should supplement the baby with sufficient water, increase his urine volume and promote the excretion of toxins in the body.
In addition, when the baby has a fever, parents had better not give it medicine casually, because if the cause of the baby's fever is unknown, casually taking medicine may affect the doctor's diagnosis
1 orange
Autumn is the best season to eat oranges. Many parents believe that orange peel has the effect of relieving cough and resolving phlegm, and is also rich in vitamin C, which can enhance the baby's immunity. Therefore, they choose to let the baby with cold and fever eat more oranges.
In fact, orange peel has the effect of relieving cough and resolving phlegm, but orange meat is easy to generate heat and raise phlegm. Drinking orange peel soup has an auxiliary effect on cooling, but eating orange meat will aggravate the condition. I believe that it is difficult for most parents to let a child give up sour, sweet and delicious oranges and choose orange peel soup.
2 fishy shrimp and crab
As the saying goes, fish makes fire, meat makes phlegm. That is to say, this kind of high protein meat is not suitable for babies to eat in the sick stage. In particular, fishy shrimp and crab itself contains histamine, which can increase vascular permeability, microvascular dilation, congestion, plasma exudation, edema and hypersecretion of glands.
When the baby has a fever, it is often accompanied by inflammation, redness and swelling of tonsils or cough and asthma. Therefore, many children with fever and cough are aggravated after eating fishy food, which is also related to the fishy smell stimulating the respiratory tract and protein allergy to fish and shrimp food. Among the fish, silver carp and hairtail have the greatest impact.
3 "fat, sweet and thick" food
The so-called fat, sweet and thick taste comes from the terminology of traditional Chinese medicine, which refers to very greasy, sweet and greasy fine food or food with strong taste. Babies with fever will have less appetite.
Seeing that the baby can't eat, the mother will be very distressed. What she may not eat at ordinary times, such as French fries, fat and other foods, will satisfy the baby and eat at will. She thinks it's better to eat than not to eat. In fact, this approach is wrong. From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, cough is mostly caused by lung heat, especially in children.
When the baby has a cough and fever, the gastrointestinal function will become weak. This kind of fatty or fried food will increase the gastrointestinal burden, breed sputum and make it difficult to recover from the disease.
It is mentioned above that when the baby has a cough and fever, he is often unwilling to eat, so his parents are very worried. In fact, during this period, you can feed your children more porridge, rice flour, lotus root powder or fresh fruit juice.
When the baby's symptoms improve significantly, you can eat semi liquid foods such as clear soup noodles and vegetable mud porridge. In the later stage of recovery, more high protein food will help to restore the body.
