Babies are more prone to infections, diseases, cold or cough and other stimulants that are harmful to the child health as a whole. Preventive measures are the safer part to ensure the well being of the child health. Being a responsible parent there are measures to be followed and taken care of when your baby is fallen sick due to any reasons. Do follow the mentioned aspects to take care of your child at the earliest.
Consult a doctor when the fever lasts more than twenty four hours – even in an active child – or if the child is listless with a low grade fever. Urgency is only required for fevers over 104 degrees.
The best thing to do is to keep your baby cool – helping his body’s “thermostat” to reduce temperature naturally. So no bundling up in blankets unless the child is shivering.
At the doctor’s discuss the condition of the child besides his / her temperature and how it was taken. You can say – “he is been crying/ listless all day and also mention the raise in his / her temperature.
Never add or subtract any numbers or round off. Let the doctor know the temperature exactly as it is and the way it was taken down.
