<\/a><\/h2>\nWhat is fever?<\/h2>\n
Fever is a natural phenomenon of the body in response to a virus or infection<\/strong>. Fever itself is therefore not dangerous, except for infants and as long as it does not exceed high values<\/strong> (~ 41\u00b0C). Here are 5 mistakes to avoid when baby has a fever:<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Generally, it is not necessary to consider taking medication if the fever is well tolerated<\/strong> by the child. Treatment is therefore not systematic.<\/p>\n On the other hand, if the child is suffering, it is important to give only one type of fever medication, respecting the doses and intervals between doses.<\/strong><\/p>\n If this is not enough to lower your temperature and the fever persists beyond 72 hours, it is essential to consult your doctor.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n It is very important to give him fresh water regularly.<\/p>\n Remember to offer him a lot of drinks even if he doesn’t ask you to. A tip to remember, especially if your child is too small to ask for a drink. A vital gesture to avoid dehydration.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n It is important that the ambient temperature remains stable and within the range of 18-20\u00b0C.<\/p>\n The air should not be too humid or too dry. Remember to ventilate the room well and if necessary, use a humidifier.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n In case of fever, do not overcover your child. Removing layers of clothing from her allows heat to escape and lower her body temperature.<\/p>\n But don’t undress him completely because he could catch cold and start shivering.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Very important: bathing your child in too fresh water (+2\u00b0C below the child’s temperature) does not significantly lower his temperature<\/p>\n On the contrary, it may increase his discomfort and discomfort. Similarly, ice bags are not recommended.<\/p>\n Be careful also, the bath can increase the risk of seizures<\/strong> in children.<\/p>\n Whether it is a mild fever or a high-risk infection, temperature monitoring remains essential.<\/p>\n Faced with the discomfort of conventional thermometers (digital, ear thermometers, etc…) there are new patch thermometers allowing continuous and remote monitoring of the temperature.<\/p>\n This is the case with Tucky. Once placed under the armpit, it measures the temperature evolution and allows parents to follow the febrile episode on their phone, from a distance.<\/p>\n If you want to know more about Tucky<\/a>, find out more here<\/a>!<\/p>\n Learn more about:<\/p>\n Fever in children<\/a> What is fever?

2. Not hydrating your child enough<\/h2>\n
3. The temperature of the room is too high<\/h2>\n
4. Overcovering baby<\/h2>\n
5. Bathing your child in warm water<\/h2>\n
