Many people think that it would be better to give cold things like sherbet or ice cream during fever. But this is wrong. It is better to feed lukewarm water or light soup to children. Due to this their body does not get dehydrated and the fever reduces quickly.

When a child has fever, many parents immediately give antibiotics out of fear. This is a big mistake. Antibiotics are not needed in every fever and this medicine can also have a bad effect on the health of the child. Therefore, in case of fever, first consult a doctor.

When there is fever, the child’s stomach is often not ready to eat. Many parents force the child to eat food, which can cause further problems to the child. It is important to keep the child hydrated at this time. You can give him light soup, fruit juice or water.

Many times, parents get worried and give many medicines to the child at once. This is wrong. While giving fever medicines to children, always take doctor’s advice and keep a gap of at least 4 hours between the two medicines.

In case of fever, the child needs complete rest. Parents often think that it would be better to let the child play or walk. This is wrong. Give complete rest to the child during fever so that the healing process of his body speeds up.

In the changing weather, giving hot and cold things to the child repeatedly can affect his health. Dress children in light and comfortable clothes according to the weather and keep the temperature of the room balanced.
