И все же...

Лучше вообще не болеть!!!

я до сорока вообще ничего не планирую делать с ребёнком, в 38 и 2 - чересчур рано, даже ВОЗ не рекомендует сбивать раньше, чем 39,5.

если ты решила почитать, то я тебе полнее дам инфу, я высылала одной подруге уже, просто скопирую письмо и сюда вставлю.

А бабушкам, к-е до 40 градусов подымают невооброзимый визг, нужно психотропные пить, или хотя бы валериану, слушать их необязательно, есть ведь и пограмотней их, врачи, хотя бы.
В общем, до 40 градусов ничего почти не предпринимаю, за исключением питьё и грудь, и побольше или поменьше одежде, температура в комнате, такие вещи.
Пока выше 39,9 не подымалась, и это отлично.


http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fever

Hyperpyrexia is a fever with an extreme elevation of body temperature greater than or equal to 41.5 °C (106.7 °F).[13] Such a high temperature is considered a medical emergency as it may indicate a serious underlying condition or lead to significant side effects.[14]

There are arguments for and against the usefulness of fever, and the issue is controversial.[21][22] There are studies using warm-blooded vertebrates[23] and humans[24] in vivo, with some suggesting that they recover more rapidly from infections or critical illness due to fever. A Finnish study suggested reduced mortality in bacterial infections when fever was present.[25]

Research[27] has demonstrated that fever assists the healing process in several important ways:

• Increased mobility of leukocytes
• Enhanced leukocytes phagocytosis
• Endotoxin effects decreased
• Increased proliferation of T cells[28]

Fever should not necessarily be treated.[29] Most people recover without specific medical attention.[30] Although it is unpleasant, fever rarely rises to a dangerous level even if untreated. Damage to the brain generally does not occur until temperatures reach 42 °C (107.6 °F), and it is rare for an untreated fever to exceed 41 °C (105 °F).[29]

Fever phobia

Fever phobia is the name given by medical experts to parents' misconceptions about fever in their children. Among them, many parents incorrectly believe that fever is a disease rather than a medical sign, that even low fevers are harmful, and that any temperature even briefly or slightly above the oversimplified "normal" number marked on a thermometer is a clinically significant fever.[42] They are also afraid of harmless side effects like febrile seizures and dramatically overestimate the likelihood of permanent damage from typical fevers.[42] The underlying problem, according to professor of pediatrics Barton D. Schmitt, is "as parents we tend to suspect that our children’s brains may melt."[43]

As a result of these misconceptions parents are anxious, give the child fever-reducing medicine when the temperature is technically normal or only slightly elevated, and interfere with the child's sleep to give the child more medicine.[42]

Temperature Classification
Core (rectal, esophageal, etc.) Hypothermia <35.0 °C (95.0 °F)[2] Normal 36.5–37.5 °C (97.7–99.5 °F)[3] Fever >37.5–38.3 °C (99.5–100.9 °F)[4][5] Hyperthermia >37.5–38.3 °C (99.5–100.9 °F)[4][5] Hyperpyrexia >40.0–41.5 °C (104–106.7 °F)[6][7] Note: The difference between feverand hyperthermia is the mechanism.

Hot

• 37 °C (99 °F) - Normal body temperature (which varies between about 36.12–37.5 °C (97–100 °F))
• 38 °C (100 °F) - Sweating, feeling very uncomfortable, slightly hungry.
• 39 °C (102 °F) - Severe sweating, flushed and very red. Fast heart rate and breathlessness. There may be exhaustion accompanying this. Children and people with epilepsy may be very likely to get convulsions at this point.
• 40 °C (104 °F) - Fainting, dehydration, weakness, vomiting, headache and dizziness may occur as well as profuse sweating. Starts to be life- threatening.
• 41 °C (106 °F) - (Medical emergency) - Fainting, vomiting, severe headache, dizziness, confusion, hallucinations, delirium and drowsiness can occur. There may also be palpitations and breathlessness.
• 42 °C (108 °F) - Subject may turn pale or remain flushed and red. They may become comatose, be in severe delirium, vomiting, and convulsions can occur. Blood pressure may be high or low and heart rate will be very fast.
• 43 °C (109 °F) - Normally death, or there may be serious brain damage, continuous convulsions and shock. Cardio-respiratory collapse will likely occur.
• 44 °C (111 °F) or more - Almost certainly death will occur; however, patients have been known to survive up to 46.5 °C (115.7 °F).[38]

Cold

• 37 °C (99 °F) - Normal body temperature (which varies between about 36–37.5 °C (97–100 °F))
• 36 °C (97 °F) - Mild to moderate shivering (body temperature may drop this low during sleep). May be a normal body temperature.
• 35 °C (95 °F) - (Hypothermia) is less than 35 °C (95 °F) - Intense shivering, numbness and bluish/grayness of the skin. There is the possibility of heart irritability.
• 34 °C (93 °F) - Severe shivering, loss of movement of fingers, blueness and confusion. Some behavioural changes may take place.
• 33 °C (91 °F) - Moderate to severe confusion, sleepiness, depressed reflexes, progressive loss of shivering, slow heart beat, shallow breathing. Shivering may stop. Subject may be unresponsive to certain stimuli.
• 32 °C (90 °F) - (Medical emergency) Hallucinations, delirium, complete confusion, extreme sleepiness that is progressively becoming comatose. Shivering is absent (subject may even think they are hot). Reflex may be absent or very slight.
• 31 °C (88 °F) - Comatose, very rarely conscious. No or slight reflexes. Very shallow breathing and slow heart rate. Possibility of serious heart rhythm problems.
• 28 °C (82 °F) - Severe heart rhythm disturbances are likely and breathing may stop at any time. Patient may appear to be dead.
• 24–26 °C (75–79 °F) or less - Death
