Chapter 681: Infant Rash
After the baby is bathed, wipe it clean with a bath towel, put talcum powder on the little fart, put on clean clothes, and carry the child into the room and put it on the bed.
The two children crawled up and down on the bed, laughing loudly.
"I'm watching here, you go take a shower first." Gu Zhennan said.
"Good!" Guo Xiang nodded.
It's hot now, and I'm sweating like this.
After taking a shower, Gu Zhennan was happily playing with the two children with toys.
"Go wash it!" Guo Xiang said.
"Hmm!" Gu Zhennan answered, took his clothes and went to take a bath.
Guo Xiang put the two children in the bed, the two lay in rows, and Guo Xiang took a Hans Christian Andersen fairy tale to tell them a story.
Although the children are still young, they are very quiet when they hear the story, maybe they still can't understand it, maybe Guo Xiang's voice is particularly delicious, and they seem to like it very much.
As Guo Xiang spoke, the two children fell asleep and closed their eyes with a yawn.
When Gu Zhennan came in, he heard no movement in the house, so he slowed down and asked in a low voice, "Asleep?" ”
"Hmm!" Guo Xiang nodded and put the book on the bedside table.
"Shall I carry them over?" Gu Zhennan asked.
"Wait a minute, let them sleep a little more, or they will wake up in a flash." Guo Xiang whispered.
"Good!" Gu Zhennan nodded, walked to Guo Xiang's side and kissed her on the face, Guo Xiang pursed his lips reflexively, Gu Zhennan chuckled lightly and kissed her on the lips.
The two got tired of kissing for a while, and Gu Zhennan took the two children to the nanny room and let them sleep in their own small beds.
Now the child still sleeps with the two nannies, although they can sleep a full night now, but sometimes there are still cases where they have to get up at night when they are pulled or hungry, Gu Zhennan is worried that Guo Xiang will not sleep well, so he has been letting the nanny sleep with him.
Back in the room, Gu Zhennan hugged Guo Xiang from behind and hugged her into his arms.
"Now that I'm working in a cancer hospital, are you busy?"
"I'm not as busy as I used to be in other departments, after all, there aren't so many people who get cancer." Guo Xiang shook his head, "But there will be more life and death ...... here."
Guo Xiang sighed a little emotionally, although there are serious cases and urgent ones in other departments, but there are still fewer deaths, although the oncology department is not in a hurry, but it is generally a patient facing death, and the heart must be very strong.
"Just get used to it." Gu Zhennan said.
"Hmm!" Guo Xiang nodded, leaned back, and rubbed Gu Zhennan's chin, he was very relieved to have him by his side.
Early the next morning, Guo Xiang hadn't woken up yet, and suddenly there was a violent knock on the door outside, "Xiao Guo, Xiao Guo, wake up quickly, the baby has a high fever." ”
Guo Xiang woke up suddenly, quickly got up and got dressed, and Gu Zhennan also hurriedly got up.
"What's going on?" Guo Xiang opened the door.
"I don't know, the baby was fine last night, and I covered a small quilt at night, I got up in the middle of the night to see it once, and I didn't kick the quilt, I just got up and felt that the baby was not in good spirits, and it was so hot when I touched it, it should be a fever, Xiao Guo, you should take a look." Sister-in-law Zhou said anxiously.
The child had a high fever, and she was worried that the owner would blame them for not bringing them well.
Sister-in-law Huang also walked out, hugging An An and coaxing, while saying worriedly: "Do you want to send it to the hospital, I think the burn is not light!" ”
"I'll see!" Guo Xiang hurriedly said and asked Gu Zhennan to bring the medicine box.
Take out the thermometer from the medicine box and give a flat amount first, this amount is incredible, 39 degrees.
The amount of An An is more than 39 degrees, and he has a high fever.
"What to do? The fever is so bad, do you want to send it to the hospital? "Sister-in-law Zhou is anxious, although Guo Xiang is a doctor but not a pediatrician, and you can't get injections or anything at home, so you must get fever-reducing injections for such a high fever, right?
"Yes, yes, I heard that a high fever can burn out a child's head, and there was a child in our village who had a high fever and didn't go to the hospital in time, and then he burned out and became stupid." Sister-in-law Huang also said.
"Don't talk nonsense, people's brains can't burn out." Guo Xiang said.
Many people mistakenly think that fever burns out their brains, especially children, but Guo Xiang himself is a doctor and understands that this is wrong.
There is no clinical evidence that a fever of 40°C will burn the brain, but a fever of more than 40°C may cause febrile seizures and convulsions in the baby. Convulsions can cause a lack of oxygen to the brain, leading to brain damage. But it is generally an ultra-high fever of 41 degrees or more.
And at this time, it may usually be a serious bacterial infection, complicated by bacterial meningitis or sepsis.
Generally, fever does not burn out the brain, but having encephalitis and meningitis is damage to the nervous system.
The limit of high temperature tolerance of brain cells is 41.6°C, beyond which brain cell proteins will be denatured due to high temperatures, resulting in irreversible brain damage.
Therefore, even if it is burned to 39 degrees or 40 degrees, it will not burn out the brain.
Of course, it is better for ordinary families to not know how to deal with it or send it to the hospital, so as not to delay the condition.
Guo Xiang took a stethoscope and listened to the lungs of the two children, there was no murmur, and there was no obvious physical discomfort, but the spirit was not very good.
Guo Xiang looked at the hand prints of the two children again, the children were too young to diagnose the pulse accurately, mainly looking at the hand prints, and the large thenar seemed to be a little red.
Guo Xiang has a little bottom in his heart, the child should have a rash in young children.
Infantile exanthema is generally a common illness in children between the ages of six months and two years and is caused by a viral infection.
Generally speaking, breastfed babies can get immune factors from the mother's body and will not get sick within half a year of age. After half a year old, immune factors are gradually depleted, coupled with environmental reasons, the baby is prone to illness due to weak resistance.
Although Yiping and Yi'an are not breastfeeding, they have always been well-nourished, so their health has always been good.
Infant rash, also known as infant roseola, almost every child will get, but the contagiousness is not strong, once you get sick, you will suddenly have a high fever between 39 and 41 degrees, the fever will be repeated, it will take three or five days to get better, and when the fever subsides, there will be a rash, a red rose-colored rash, so it is also called roseola.
If it is not due to cold infection and other reasons, almost every baby has a fever for the first time is a toddler rash, but novice mothers have no experience, at this time they are often panicked, see that the baby is always bad, the fever subsided and the fever also thought that there was a serious illness, and the hospital went to see, but often made the baby more guilty.
Infant rash is a self-limiting disease, and it will get better in a few days, of course, when there is a high fever, it still has to be treated, and it is not that it will get better by saying nothing.
As long as the fever is more than 38.5 degrees, the child should take fever-reducing medicine.
Guo Xiang had already found the antipyretic medicine for infants and young children from the medicine box, and these were ready long before he was born.
The baby seemed to be very uncomfortable, refused to take the medicine, and cried loudly.
I had no choice but to pinch my mouth open and pour it in, and then take a bottle and let them drink more water.
Gu Xide also walked out of the room when he heard the movement, "What's wrong?" ”
"The child has a fever, it's okay, I'm giving them medicine!" Guo Xiang said.
Seeing the child like this, Guo Xiang naturally didn't feel at ease to go to work, so he called Song Tingshen and said that the child was sick and wanted to ask for leave, and Song Tingshen naturally agreed.
The child cried and fussed, and the medicine took effect, and soon he sweated and the fever subsided.
Guo Xiang wiped the child's body with a towel, and it didn't take long for the child to burn again.
