Parenting Mom/Daddy ~
When my child is fever, the first question comes to mind, "How long will this heat go?" Is it not? Especially the fever caused by viral infections is a difficult time for children and parents. This will help you to solve your curiosity about the fever of children's viruses.
Virus infection, how long will the heat go ~
In general, fever due to viral infection lasts for 3-4 days. But it can vary slightly depending on the type of virus.
Cold virus: usually heats up within 2-3 days.
Influenza virus (flu): 4-5 days fever can last.
How should I check my child's condition?
If your child plays and eats similarly to usual, you don't have to worry too much. However, if the fever continues or other symptoms appear, you should go to the hospital and get medical care.
What should I do with heating up ~
Anti -heating agent: It can be used for more than 38.5 degrees of antipyretics such as ibuprofen or acetaminophen.
Types of antipyretics: Pediatric antipyretics can be easily purchased at pharmacies. (Example: Pediatric antipyretic oral liquid, pediatric Shibagumi antipyretic particles)
When should I go to the hospital?
If the heat continues after four days: it may be another disease, so you need to go to the hospital and get an accurate diagnosis.
If you have different symptoms with heat: Cough, runny nose, vomiting, diarrhea, etc.
Children's fever makes parents unstable, but in most cases it is caused by viral infections, and sufficient rest, moisture intake, and antipyretics can be improved. However, if the child is in poor condition or the fever lasts for a long time, it is important to go to the hospital and receive medical care.
My child, I hope to grow up healthy ~
