Why does my child always have a fever at night?Do I need to wake up and give me medicine?
As an experienced TCM practitioner, I am often asked by parents about their children's fever at night.
Especially in winter and spring, it is even more common for children to have a sudden fever at night. So, why do children always have a fever at night?Do you need to wake them up to give them medicine?Let's take a look at it together.
First of all, we need to understand the cause of the child's fever at night. Generally speaking, children have fever at night mainly because of the large amount of activity during the day, the body's metabolism is vigorous, the yang energy is on the outside and inside, the body's immunity is reduced at night, and external evils are easy to invade the human body, resulting in fever. In addition, poor diet, heat accumulation in the spleen and stomach, external wind chills and other reasons may also cause children to have fever at night.
So, what should parents do when their child has a fever at night?First of all, parents need to observe their children's symptoms, such as high fever, cough, runny nose and other symptoms, they should seek medical attention in time. If your child has only a slight fever and is in good spirits, you can take some physical cooling methods, such as applying a wet towel to the forehead and wiping the body.
So, do you need to wake up your child to give medicine?Generally speaking, if the child sleeps relatively peacefully and does not have symptoms such as high fever and shortness of breath, he can be given medicine without waking up. However, if the child has symptoms such as high fever and convulsions, or the fever lasts for a long time, he needs to be woken up to give medicine or seek medical attention in time.
When choosing a medication, parents should follow the doctor's advice to choose the right medication for their child. At the same time, it is also necessary to pay attention to the dosage and usage of the drug, and do not overdose or use it inappropriately.
In addition, parents can also improve their children's immunity and prevent colds and fevers by adjusting their children's diet, increasing exercise, etc.
In conclusion, it is common for children to have a fever at night, and parents should not worry too much.
