How long does a child's viral fever last?

When a baby has a cold or fever, parents will worry and hope to transfer the illness to themselves. We all know that a cold usually takes at least 3 or 4 days to recover, and some children with poor resistance may take a week or two to recover.

What to do if you have a viral fever

Generally, fever caused by viral infection will last longer, possibly a week or even longer. Viral infections are self-limiting diseases, which means they heal on their own without treatment. The purpose of treatment is only to improve symptoms, make the baby feel more comfortable, and spend a week or so smoothly, but it cannot shorten the course of the disease. Some babies have repeated fevers because the viral infection process has not yet passed. Parents should not be anxious but observe the baby's condition. As long as no complications occur, there is no problem.

If the baby's body temperature is too high, you can use some physical methods to cool it down, such as a warm water bath, that is, wiping the whole body with a warm water towel. Or you can use a cooling patch, which is a new product in recent years. Stick it on the baby's forehead and the baby's head will feel more comfortable. Ice packs are also a good method, and ice packs can be used repeatedly. Since infants and young children have a high water content in their bodies, they are very susceptible to dehydration. Therefore, parents must feed their infants and young children more boiled water.

If the baby's temperature is still over 38.5℃ after physical cooling treatment, you should use medicine to reduce the fever. Check the dosage when using it and do not overdose. When a baby is infected with a virus and has a fever, parents should avoid taking the baby to public places and disinfect tableware and toys frequently. At the same time, you should pay attention to keeping warm and avoid catching cold, which may cause respiratory and digestive tract diseases and reduce the body's resistance. When the weather turns cold, you should be cautious when eating raw or cold food, and it is best to eat fruit half an hour after a meal. In order to reduce the burden on the digestive tract, the diet should be mainly composed of starchy foods, such as millet porridge, rice porridge, and paste. For babies with poor physical constitution, physical therapy methods such as massage can increase the body's tolerance and shorten the course of the disease.
