Pediatrics – Fever in a Neonate, Fever in a Child
Whiteboard Animation Transcript

Fever is a common feature of many disease processes. It is an elevation in body temperature mediated by the hypothalamus as a physiologic response to an insult. In children, fever most commonly results from infectious, inflammatory, or malignant processes. By far, the most common cause of fever in children is infection.
Although there are various locations where a child’s temperature can be measured, in neonates and young children, a rectal measurement is most definitive, whereas an oral temperature is best in older children. A fever is generally defined as any temperature ≥38ºC (100.4ºF) using oral or rectal thermometers.
Contrary to popular belief, fever in itself is not harmful, but rather signals caretakers and physicians to search for an underlying process that can be harmful. The goal in evaluating a febrile infant or child is to identify the underlying cause of the fever.
Infants and children with the following features are at a high risk for developing serious bacterial or viral infections (such as meningitis or bacteremia) or serious viral infection and warrant a full septic workup:
Ill-appearing infant or child, regardless of age.1,2
Fever in all neonates younger than 28 days regardless of clinical appearance.1,2
Any neonate with findings suggesting HSV infection upon examination (e.g. mucocutaneous vesicles, seizures, or focal neurologic findings), especially those with maternal risk factors for vertical transmission.1,2
Infants up to 3 months of age with clinical and/or laboratory factors that are high risk for serious bacterial infections.1,2
Strongly consider a full septic workup in unimmunized infants.1,2
A full septic workup includes a complete blood count with differential, blood cultures and sensitivity, urinalysis, urine culture and sensitivity, cerebrospinal fluid analysis and cerebrospinal fluid culture and sensitivity or viral studies. Other investigations may be required depending on the clinical presentation such as a throat culture, chest x-ray if there are respiratory symptoms or stool microbiological studies if gastrointestinal symptoms are present.
The main reason for treating a fever is to reduce discomfort in the child. Children should wear light-weight clothing and drink lots of fluids. Medications such as acetaminophen or ibuprofen will help keep the child comfortable and reduce any associated pain. Caregivers should be notified not to use aspirin because of its association with Reye’s syndrome.
It is important to determine the cause of the fever and treat the underlying condition. In the case of infection, management may include empiric broad spectrum antibiotics or antivirals, or narrow spectrum antimicrobials to target a specific infection. Video Rating: / 5
A fever in an infant must be taken seriously. In this episode, Dr. Sanjay Wazir, Neonatologist, and Pediatrician from Cloudnine Hospitals, Gurugram is answering all your queries regarding fever in newborn. #FeverInNewborn #FeverInChildren
Excerpts:-
Newborn babies may have a fever because they are actually sick or they may have a fever because they may have been over-covered. So, the fever
could be because of the baby or it could be environmental. Now, The first thing is to measure
the baby’s temperature and during that process you can use an axillary temperature or a rectal
thermometer. Anyone you use make sure of one point. Do not add plus one or minus 1 as the
common convention in most homes to add to the axillary temperature. So most cases in baby’s are taken based on axillary temperature. So if the axillary temperature is more than 100 degrees.
look at the hands and feet of the baby.
If the hands and feet are warm then most likely you are over covering the baby and then the best thing is
to uncover the baby. But if the baby’s hand and feet are very cold and especially if the baby does not look very good
then in that case probably the baby has a genuine fever.
Once you have the baby fever you have paracetamol drops. The dose of which is based on the weight.
and for that dose, you should consult your pediatrician or maybe have asked him in the previous visit.
But not more than one or 2 doses you should give for fever. and then it is important if the newborn has a fever you go to the doctor to find out the cause of fever because children may have an infection sepsis that may progress rapidly and you may not get enough chance for them to go back and treat adequately. So it’s important that you give only
1 or 2 doses of crocin or paracetamol and then show to your doctor to decide the future course of .

https://www.epicnaturalhealth.com/13-health-benefits-of-lemongrass-you-need-to-know/
If you enjoy cooking your own recipes, you may have seen lemongrass floating around in a few of them recently. Although you might be more familiar with it as a candle scent, lemongrass is actually a natural herb that we’ve been using in our cooking for as long as records date back. You’re most likely to find it in sweet teas and Thai dishes, as well as dishes including meat, seafood, and vegetables.
It can be tempting to simply cut out lemongrass and other “finicky” ingredients that add flavour but not substance to a dish, but by doing so, you’re really missing out on what the herb has to offer. Found in Asia, Africa and Australia, lemongrass is a fantastic source of nutrients that can help with everything from weight loss to cancer treatment.
It’s likely that you’ve tried lemongrass before if you’re a fan of dining out. It’s distinctive for its citrusy, lemony flavour, which is derived from the stalk of the plant. While the flavour won’t overpower your dishes, it gives a tangy kick that’s similar to that of the juice of a lemon or lime. But aside from its delicious flavour, there are so many reasons to incorporate lemongrass into your diet. Stay tuned to listen out for the top 13 health benefits of lemongrass.
No1 Boosts immune system and aids in weight loss
Lemongrass is a low-calorie herb, which makes it ideal for including in your diet if you’re watching your weight. If you opt for lemongrass tea, you’ll find it a satisfying beverage that fills you up, keeping you fuller for longer and making you less likely to reach for a sugary snack instead. Because it’s also a natural diuretic, over time, lemongrass will help you to lose some water weight.
Lemongrass contains polyphenols, a category of compounds found in lots of plant foods, that we know to increase energy expenditure and fat oxidation. Both of these contribute to weight loss. There’s even some evidence to suggest that lemongrass may be able to boost metabolism and directly assist in weight loss.
No2 Kills cancer cells
A recent study has found that lemongrass contains a number of important antioxidants, which may be able to fight off free radicals in the body. Free radicals attack cells, damaging them and causing them to divide unnaturally, which can eventually lead to cancer. It’s thought that lemongrass may be able to not only fight off the cancer-causing free radicals in your body – and therefore inhibiting the early stages of cancer, especially that of the liver – but it may also induce cell death in cancer patients who are undergoing treatment.
Even more interestingly, some studies have also shown how lemongrass extracts might be effective as a nontoxic alternative to cancer treatment. Research in this area is still lacking, but it’s promising to think that we may be able to naturally treat cancer with lemongrass one day.
No3 Improves digestion
Finding a natural remedy for stomach cramping and other digestive issues can be difficult. Luckily, lemongrass is a solution that actually works for the majority of people. It has a number of anti-inflammatory properties that make it ideal for settling the stomach and aiding in digestion. A component called citral, found in lemongrass, helps food to digest quickly and effectively, which is why lemongrass tea is favoured as an after-dinner drink.
No4 Cures stomach disorders
We’ve talked about lemongrass for digestion, and on a similar note, studies have also shown that lemongrass can help to cure stomach disorders and treat gastric ulcers. Impressively, research suggests that lemongrass can play a big part in fighting the infections caused by various harmful pathogens. It’s also effective in preventing gastrointestinal disorders and reducing inflammation, which may help relieve pain from gastric ulcers, colitis, diarrhea, nausea and stomach aches.
No5 Treats cough and cold symptoms
There are many natural remedies out there for coughs and colds, but none quite so effective as lemongrass. Because lemongrass is a natural immunity booster, it might help you to ward off coughs and colds in the first place. But if you do find yourself feeling under the weather, Video Rating: / 5
