Introduction
Fever-reducing injections generally refer to antipyretic shots. A child's body temperature dropping to 35°C after receiving an antipyretic injection may be caused by environmental factors, wearing too little clothing, excessive medication dosage, or other reasons. Treatment should be based on the underlying cause. Hypoglycemia cannot be ruled out as a possible factor; consuming appropriate amounts of high-sugar foods may help improve the condition. If the child shows明显的 signs of physical discomfort, prompt medical attention is necessary.
Febrifuge injection generally refers to antipyretic injection. A child's body temperature dropping to 35°C after receiving an antipyretic injection may be caused by environmental factors, wearing too little clothing, excessive medication dosage, or other reasons. Treatment should be based on the underlying cause. Specific analyses are as follows:
1. Environmental factors
If the outside temperature is relatively low, blood circulation slows down and less heat is generated in the body, which may easily lead to low body temperature after receiving an antipyretic injection. This can be improved by adjusting the indoor temperature.
2. Wearing too little clothing
If the child is dressed in thin clothing, excessive heat loss may occur after the injection, leading to a drop in body temperature. If the child feels cold, adding appropriate layers of clothing can help promote recovery.
3. Excessive medication dosage
If too high a dose of medication is administered during the antipyretic injection, it may also cause persistent decrease in body temperature. Light physical activity according to the child’s condition can accelerate metabolism and help alleviate symptoms.
Besides the above-mentioned causes, hypoglycemia, hypothyroidism, or shock cannot be ruled out. Consuming foods high in sugar, such as cakes, chocolate, or candies, may help improve the condition. If the child shows significant discomfort, prompt medical attention is necessary.
