Fever, how to eat antipyretics?

When got a fever, do not need to tense? Should quickly bring down a fever? When service antipyretics? The antipyretics how to eat? Cover sweat the fever?

Fever is to remove harmful substances

Hypothalamus in our head position, a central body temperature regulation. Under normal circumstances, the various organs of the body's tissue function requires a constant temperature around 37 ℃. When bacteria, viruses, parasites and other microorganisms or other substances into the body, assault, physical injury, the body will fight back, immediately in the body called the raw material to a heat source, this substance acting on the hypothalamus, can be upgraded to high body temperature set point, the increase in body temperature, speed up metabolism, the immune system to add more white blood cells, macrophages, inflammatory factors, is more conducive to remove microorganisms and other harmful substances. But sustained high fever above 40 ℃, and weaken the human metabolism nutrition, the immune system can actually reduce.

Fever, the body?

The fever of the body, everything is fast-paced. The nervous system is active, you will feel very excited, rapid heart beat, breathing deeply, speed up, improve immune function, increase in body metabolic rate, body temperature is increased by 1 ° C, the basal metabolic rate will rise to 13%. The consequences are: central nervous system stimulant, you are going to be bored to sleep; sympathetic activity, inhibiting the secretion of digestive juices, you will be loss of appetite, bloating, constipation; increased metabolic rate, the body's energy demand has also increased, should complement the energy and water. Low fever 38.5 ° C, the following is generally not dangerous, do not tense. If the fever persistent, will significantly increase the consumption of the organization, on the one hand, increase the load on the organ, and may even induce the corresponding organ dysfunction, on the other hand cause tissue damage, kidney, liver, cardiac and other organ tissue swelling degeneration.

38.5 ° C, can service antipyretics

Fever above 38.5 ℃ or lower than 38.5 ° C, but poor mental condition of patients, the body uncomfortable, or sleeping in a timely manner taking antipyretics, and use physical cooling means. But they take antipyretics to suggest that the treatment is generally not more than three days, three days after the fever is still no rebate, it is best to go to the hospital.

Commonly used in Western medicine antipyretics

Western medicine fever strong role in profuse sweating, easy to use, allows rapid decline in body temperature in a short time, but easily lead to dehydration, electrolyte imbalance, etc., suitable for adults use.

 

The Redu lower than 38.5 ° C, try to do so 

 

Under normal circumstances, if the temperature is lower than 38.5 ° C, good mental condition of patients, without taking antipyretics.  Properly elevated body temperature can increase the patient's immune system, help the body against invading pathogens.

Wet compress to cool. Deposited on the forehead like the television show as a wet coldtowel, changed frequently.
Alcohol sponge bath. This method with less than should be noted that the alcohol concentration in 25% to 50% is appropriate, otherwise likely to stimulate the skin to absorb a large number of the moisture of the epidermis, the skin damage.

Drink plenty of water. Fever, thirst, drink it it open, a lot of water not only to meet theneeds of the high metabolism of the body taken away a lot of heat and sweating, orexcretion of the body surface to help the body cool.

Increase of nutrition. Three meals a day for food varieties, some light can be.

Those of civil cooling methods available?

Cover quilt sweating: Correct. This is the kind of physical cooling, the use of a lot ofsweating away the surface of the heat, to reduce body temperature, but this way is disabled in the high fever, collapse easily in the large number of sweat, such as febrile convulsions.

Drink ginger: ginger there is no cooling effect. Drink hot water touches may promotesweating.

Gua Sha: hard to say. Type of cooling method efficacy and scraping approach, slowonset, it is recommended that the attempt of low-grade fever patients, fever in particular,acute fever with caution or not.

Children with fever

When the body temperature of 37 ° C to 38 ° C, do not have to worry fever, give the child to drink plenty of water, nutritional supplements, bland diet.
The body temperature of 38 ℃ ~ 38.5 ° C, with warm wet towel to rub the body, it will give the children the skin blood vessels to dilate, will shed body heat. In addition, the surfaceevaporation of water after a bath will absorb body heat bath for about 10 to 15 minutes, 4 to 6 hours at a time.
More than 38.5 ℃, the temperature began to consider the use of antipyretics, eachmedication must be an interval of 4 to 6 hours.
Body temperature above 39 ℃, while the drug was added cold water pillow, lower temperatures do the local heat, and at the same time to ensure that children go to the hospital.

 

Special Reminder: Do not rush to bring down a fever fever

Fever is just a symptom of the disease, there may be a variety of reasons. Infectiousfever, kill pathogens. If the non-infectious fever, probably due to more complicated.Respective different temperature changes in the different diseases, fever, medicallyknown as hot type. Hot type to help doctors accurately diagnose disease, eager to cool down will change the thermal type, increase the difficulty of a doctor disease.
