(Medical-NewsWire.com, February 28, 2016 ) Titusville, FL -- Parents Magazine published an article online about how to treat the first fever a baby suffers. This magazine aims to give helpful information to parents, soon-to-be parents, and anyone planning to be a parent. The article discusses important things to remember: from sponge baths to using thermometers like Dr. Madre.
The article stated that the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) indicates that the normal temperature range for a healthy baby is from 97degrees to 100.4 degrees. A body temperature of more than 100.4 degrees means that babies are suffering from a fever. If the baby is younger than three months, Parents Magazine highly recommends that parents call their pediatricians. Fever in newborn babies could connote serious infections. Parents should also observe several symptoms such as vomiting, diarrhea, appetite loss, signs of ear pain, coughing, and fussiness.
Doctors usually prescribe a newborn-friendly, fever-reducing medicine such as acetaminophen. A sponge bath can also help to reduce fever. Many doctors have stated that some babies will still look comfortable in addition to eating and sleeping well, even when they have a high body temperature. In such instances, it is best to leave the fever alone; having a fever is often a defense mechanism against infections.
Lastly, the article emphasizes the importance of having a good thermometer at home. Rectal thermometers were previously recommended for newborns. However, studies have proven that modern thermometers, like Dr. Madre touchless thermometer, can now be as accurate as a rectal thermometer.
Dr. Madre is a non-contact infrared thermometer. With its no-touch feature, parents need not press the thermometer against the skin. In addition, Dr. Madre gives an accurate temperature reading in less than three seconds. Recently, Amazon named Dr. Madre as its #1 new release infrared thermometer category.
MedX Dispensing, Inc. is an authorized seller of Dr. Madre Infrared Thermometer and Dr. Madre Bedwetting Alarm, which are both available on Amazon.
