Safely Treating A Fever.

Sharing a few guidelines on treating a sick baby I got from Johnsonsbaby.com. I was actually researching about Apidexin as requested by a friend who's desperate to lose her weight fast. Her wedding's fastly approaching and she's still far from attaining her ideal bridal weight and body figure. Asher isn't sick with fever but I'm closely monitoring him because he has colds and cough.

Medication: Follow your pediatrician's advice concerning infant fever medications

Fluids: Make sure your child drinks plenty of fluids. Doing this will help prevent dehydration and cool the body. Younger babies should be offered water or a feeding. Older children can be given diluted fruit juice. Avoid soda and liquids with caffeine.

Warmth: Sometimes children with fever also get the chills. Use a blanket for warmth and hold your baby for extra warmth and comfort. Remember not to put your baby in the crib with a blanket.

Cool off: Keep your child at rest in loose, light cotton clothing, and give a lukewarm (slightly warmer than room temperature) sponge bath to help lower body temperature.

Just an update on Asher, he still has colds but I believe it's getting better. I'm just more worried and cautious though on his cough that surfaced yesterday. I've been giving him Ambroxol medication since this noon. Hopefully, in the next few hours or days, he will be well. I'm preventing myself from worrying too much about the rampant and widely spreading case of AH1N1. Sheesh..it's very alarming.
