Question
Why does a child experience excessive sweating after receiving enema treatment for high fever?
Answer
After enema treatment for high fever in children, if they exhibit excessive sweating, it may be due to the body’s response to the temperature regulation center of the medication, or a natural reaction during the cooling process. If the enema contains fever-reducing ingredients, the absorption of the medication may lead to a drop in body temperature, resulting in sweating. However, this condition could also be a result of an accelerated metabolism due to high body temperature, with the body dissipating heat through sweat. It is recommended that parents closely monitor their child’s condition in this situation, ensuring they have enough water intake to prevent dehydration. If excessive sweating leads to symptoms such as weakness or fatigue in the child, it is advisable to contact a doctor immediately for further examination and treatment. Additionally, parents should pay attention to keeping the child’s airways clear to avoid exacerbation of respiratory symptoms caused by fever. If the child’s fever and incessant crying persist, it is suggested that parents take their child to a regular hospital for a detailed examination to determine the cause of the fever and receive targeted treatment.
