Fever
normal body temperature relatively constant fever is generally maintained at 36.2-37.2 (oral temperature) between the. When the mouth or rectal temperature above 37.2 when the temperature is higher than 37.6 ℃ day between when the temperature changed more than 1.2 ℃, that may be fever. Fever according to the temperature points can be divided into heat and low heat; by heating heat-way points can be divided into short-term fever and chronic fever. Under normal circumstances, the long-term Chaoguo body temperature 37.5 ℃, it can consider the possibility of a lesion, it should be a doctor checkup about.
L have an abnormally high body temperature (39 ℃ above), is called heat. There are two types of high fever.
The first type is that too much body heat, while the heat is not sufficient, so heat accumulation in the body caused by high fever, heatstroke, sunstroke or manual when you can see this phenomenon.
The second is due to a variety of pathological factors that cause the brain (hypothalamic) temperature regulation center of the disorder, body heat generation and heat regulation of out of balance, thus giving rise to a high fever.
The correct temperature measurement
temperature measurement is usually placed on the thermometer under the tongue or armpit for determination.To the right was determined, the main attention to prepare the following three things.
1, mercury thermometers should be placed under the tongue or armpit ball deep.
2, body temperature, the determination of time should be 3-5 minutes.Because, from the inside out after sublingual or axillary, until the department rose to a certain temperature for 3-5 minutes until the need all the time.
3, measurement of oral body temperature thermometer should be properly placed under the tongue root, while the natural Bijin lips, with a good thermometer. Required after sweating armpit dry with a towel and then put the thermometer, and to clamp in 5 minutes, not move the thermometer. In this within 5 minutes out of the sweat does not affect the determination of body temperature.If the fever is certainly at least twice, morning and evening temperature should be measured and recorded, hoping to develop such a habit.Because the temperature record available to the doctors, for doctors who diagnosed it is of great help.
Fever is common in the following reasons:
Cold, tuberculosis, pyelonephritis, etc. caused by a virus or bacterial infection.
Cancer: It is believed the cancer would not have fever or fever that would not be cancer, these ideas are wrong.Do not forget that many cancers have fever.
Blood Disease: A typical example is the acute leukemia.
Connective tissue diseases: multiple concurrent manifestations such as joint pain and rash.
Others: Thermoregulation of the brain center of the mechanical pressure, such as severe cerebral hemorrhage or brain tumors, etc., can also cause fever.Sustained fever above 38 ℃ for more than 3 days to analyze the reasons is not easy.Need to be hospitalized for careful observation and inspection.
But in general, fever is often the reason to rely on laboratory test results to decide.
Mechanism of the body heat causes fever, its spread to the brain to stimulate the thermoregulatory center, leading to disorders of the central activities.In other words, central to regulating body temperature to adjust the level of body temperature suddenly placed in a higher level than normal, go. As a result, the actual temperature of the blood than have to adjust to the low level, so, central to immediately raise the blood temperature of the body issuing the order.
Thus, vasoconstriction of skin surface, color to pale, goose bumps, muscle fiber contraction, people feel cold (aversion to cold).In this way, one side to prevent the heat distribution in vitro, while on an active real estate in the body heat, blood temperature to increase.Finally, finally reached the central level to be adjusted to, when not cold, and although the heat increased, but instead feel comfortable. A is the heating mechanism.
Treatment of fever the patient warm, quiet:
① rest.Chills or chills, you should add quilt to the hot-water bottle.
② pulse, breathing, and loss of appetite situation, the availability of dizziness, the availability of raw nerves, skin, whether dry, flexible ways, with or without skin rash as well as toilet situation, etc., must all be carefully observed and recorded, tell your doctor.
③ As the lack of moisture and heat, in addition to the digestible diet, but also note that the continuous supply of water.Chills when you have to give hot drinks.
④ patients when requested, it can give the ice pillow and the ice pack.It should be noted not to cold shoulder and neck.
⑤ high fever, sometimes a lot of sweat, we need to get the room warm, first screw hot towel dry, then rub with a dry towel bath (sponge bath to quickly agile, to avoid the cold), and put on clean dry shirt.
⑥ should regularly clean the mouth, in particular, do not forget that mouthwash after meals, brush your teeth before going to bed.Women’s use of the hot towel wrung Qing Shi genitals, once a day.Constipation can contribute to fever, therefore, should be served enema or laxative to make defecation.
