Due to the immature immune system of babies, they are easily invaded by pathogens and may experience illness and discomfort. Common diseases include fever, cold, cough, etc. Recently, a mother discovered that her baby is shaking when she has a fever. She wants to know why her baby shakes when she has a fever?
The situation accompanied by a baby's fever is actually a typical manifestation of shivering. During the fever, the body temperature continues to rise, and the temperature regulation center is stimulated by the heat source, causing the regulation function to be disrupted. The sympathetic nervous system can cause skin blood vessels to contract, shallow blood flow to decrease, and internal heat cannot be dissipated. The external temperature is lower than the skin temperature, which can stimulate the skin's cold receptors and transmit them to the center, causing shivering symptoms.
If a baby has a fever and trembles, the mother should give the baby more warm water to drink. Drinking more water and urinating can help lower the body temperature. The room where the baby is located should maintain a room temperature of 24 degrees Celsius, keep it ventilated, and keep warm. When the baby trembles and trembles, it is not advisable to give the baby warm baths, warm and humid compresses, or apply antipyretic patches, as this may worsen the condition and be detrimental to the baby's recovery.
When a baby stops shivering and shivering, it indicates that their body temperature has risen significantly, and there may be symptoms of high fever and convulsions. At this time, it is necessary to closely monitor their body temperature. Once the body temperature exceeds 38.5 degrees, it is necessary to promptly administer antipyretic medication to the baby for antipyretic treatment, so that the baby's body temperature can drop as soon as possible, avoiding excessive body temperature and causing damage to the baby's brain and brain nerves.
