What to Do for Child with Cerebral Palsy Catching Flu

Children with cerebral palsy are easy to catch flu or fever, especially in the winter, because of low immunity. In addition, children themself have undeveloped heat-regulating ability so that they are easy to show unstable body temperature. Child with cerebral palsy catching flu or fever indicates human body is defensing those inflammatory factors and virus, which is a way to stimulate immune system.
As parents who has a child with cerebral palsy must be taken great efforts and energy to take care of their baby. If your child with cerebral palsy catched flu or fever, please don’t worry a lot. Here I give you some advises wishing to be useful. First, you need to observe your child's temperature carefully but not giving your child medicines to bring down the fever at once. Because we need to give body itself some time to defense those virus so as to increase self-immunity. At the same time, you can give the child some pure Vitamine, especailly vitamine C to enhance his immunity. In China we usually advice patients choose physical cooling: wet the towel in warm water (38℃-41℃), wring it slightly and scrub your son's body including neck, arms, chest, back etc. You can scrub more in parts like thign, crotch, chelidon, armpit with great vessels. Stop scrub until the vessel parts show slightly red. This can help to lower body temperature. Each day three 2-3 times.
Of course, if baby's temperature continuous very high, we can choose Tylenol. But you should know this medicine has many complications such as damaging digestive system, central neuron nervous system, blood circulation and even kidneys and liver. Whether your child is taking rehabilitation training? Is it effective?
