My daughter had a fever the other day.
After returning home from kindergarten, she was sleepy with a high fever, and the first thing she did was to fall asleep in bed.
When people are sick, it is actually the instinct of the body to want to sleep. Because at this time, most of the body's qi and blood are fighting against evil qi, and there is not much energy for other activities, sleeping is the most energy-saving way.
She slept, and I started boiling the rice soup.
The process of fever will consume a lot of fluid in the human body, and replenishing fluid in time is to replenish energy to the body. In addition to rice soup, other ways to quickly replenish the liquid are: light sugar salt water, lemon honey water, small noodle soup, and so on. Drink lukewarm, remember to give small amounts many times.
In addition to the symptoms of cold intolerance, fever and no sweating, she had normal stools, normal appetite, no digestion was affected, and there was no obvious cough and phlegm. It shows that this is just a simple cold fever.
Then some methods to ward off cold and sweat, such as green onion and white light black bean soup, and foot soaking can be used.
When she woke up, she drank green onions and white light tempeh, soaked her feet, and sweated slightly. Drink some rice soup when you're thirsty, and the day goes by.
When there is a fever, the child himself is the warriorThat night, my daughter and I slept until dawn. She didn't bother me, I didn't bother her, and when I woke up in the morning, the fever had subsided. The next day, my daughter was back to her usual state, and her energy was about 500 ducks and 500 monkeys, jumping up and down, making a lot of noise. After observing for a day, there was no problem, her appetite was restored, and on the third day, she was sent back to kindergarten without stopping. When I think of my anxiety and impatience when my daughter had a fever before I studied Chinese medicine, I really feel a lot of emotion when I compare the calmness and calmness this time. In the past, as soon as my daughter had a fever, I turned myself into a female warrior almost immediately, entered the combat state, and was even ready to fight all night: the thermometer was at hand, and the body temperature was monitored at any time;Once the temperature exceeds 385. Feed Merrill Lynch immediately;I didn't dare to sleep at night, I was afraid that after sleeping, I would set the alarm clock to ring every two hours, and I had to get up and take the child's temperature once I was sleepy. After tossing and turning for a few days, I lost a lot of weight, and the baby couldn't sleep well. Looking back now, I really feel that I was a little stupid at the time, and I suffered both myself and my children. After two years of study and experience in TCM parenting, I have become more and more soberly aware of:When a child has a fever, it is her body that is fighting the virusTherefore, parents are not the main force of combat, at most they are a "helper", and the children themselves are "warriors". There is only a limit to what helpers can do, and the child's illness does not improve with our anxiety, nervousness, and all kinds of "blind work". What mothers should do at this time:First of all, adjust your state, don't panic, don't rush, don't mess up. You can always observe yourself, is your breathing particularly short?Are your shoulders stiff?Isn't the mind particularly hot?Is it full of thoughts about this or that?Take a few deep breaths, or sit still for 5 minutes to help you "sink" down. Only when you have a clear mind and a stable mood can you keenly perceive your child's situation and perceive your child's needs at the first time. Second, create an environment conducive to war. 1.When your child wants to sleep, let him sleep well. 2.If the child's hands and feet are warm when he has a fever, it means that the qi and blood in his whole body are still relatively smooth and sufficient. If he has cold feet, we can warm his feet, rub them to save some energy loss. 3.When you have a bad appetite and can't eat, don't force yourself to eat something that is too difficult to digest, and even sometimes when you are hungry, your stomach instinctively wants to rest. 4.Don't take it out to blow the wind, don't take it to a noisy place to distract yourself, and don't do too much exercise or play to consume your energy. So that he can fight against illness and recuperate in a comfortable and quiet environment. If mom can distinguish and think clearly, then she can help. Simple cold, food and fever are not difficult to deal with, and there are many external treatment methods that can be used as soon as they are learned, and Daddy Sheep has a lot of content for everyone to learn. If the mother can't distinguish the syndrome and can't deal with it, it doesn't matter, as long as we don't add to the chaos, and the child's self-healing ability can play a normal role, then their chances of winning the battle will be greatly improved. Give your child some opportunities to solve problems on their own. Don't worry, when we can't figure it out, we can still turn to a doctor.
People who have sufficient righteousness are more capable of feverWhen you think about it, my daughter hasn't had a high fever for about 2 years. I usually see other children with high fevers, and I am a little envious. Fever is a way for the body's immunity to rise up and help the body fight evil spiritsIf a person's righteous qi is relatively sufficient, the body is relatively smooth, and the immunity is strong, the body has the ability to activate the fever mode to fight against the disease. However, if the body's energy reserves are insufficient, it may not be able to burn, especially if it is difficult to have a high fever. Therefore, children often have fever, but after puberty, many people do not have fever, and it becomes a lot of chronic small problems. There are also children who are relatively thin, have poor digestive function, and have chronic problems who are not prone to high fever. My daughter's quality has weakened after my wrong feeding, and after the long-term constipation has finally been adjusted, the quality of all aspects of the body has gradually strengthened, but the digestive function has not been particularly strong, and I dare not eat indiscriminately. This time, my daughter was a little agitated when she had a fever, which means that her immunity has improved. Therefore, parents, don't be anxious and worried when you see your child have a fever, and only think about how to get rid of the fever quickly. If you can help the child finish this fever well and thoroughly, and not blindly reduce the fever, maybe the child's physical combat effectiveness will be higher than before. Of course, not all feversIt can all be handled at homeThis time, because the child was just a very simple cold and fever, I was relatively sure that I could calmly let her stay at home. But not all fevers can be treated so easily. It still depends on the situation. Children with the following conditions should seek professional medical help, and if there is no professional doctor around, they must go to the hospital immediately1.Parents are overly anxious. Sometimes parents are anxious, let alone taking care of their children, and it is difficult to even take care of themselves. Parental anxiety may also affect the child's mood, make the child feel uneasy, and it is not conducive to the child's recovery. So if the mother is really worried, unsettled, can't sleep at night, can't accept that she doesn't do anything, but doesn't know what is right to do, then it is better to take the child to the hospital and receive help from a professional doctor. 2.Your child's fever is accompanied by other severe symptoms. If the child is accompanied by vomiting and diarrhea and is frequent, or is delirious, drowsy, has frequent convulsions or has stool that cannot pass for several days, it is relatively easy to be in a critical situation, and it is best for parents to take their child to the hospital**. 3.The child has a history of seizures. On the one hand, the child may usually lack fluid, and on the other hand, it may be that a lot of fluid is consumed when the child has a fever and is not replenished in time, which is easy to cause the child's convulsions. When a child has a seizure, if the parent does not take an effective way to replenish fluids, or even takes the wrong way to deal with it such as sweating, it is prone to dangerous situations. 4.If the high fever lasts for more than 3 days, the parent's treatment is ineffective. If the child has a high fever for more than 3 days, one possibility is that there is a problem with the way the parents deal with it, and another possibility is that the disease is relatively strong. In this case, please seek the help of a professional doctor in time.
