Candles or syrup? What remedy to choose if the child has a fever?
If you decide to use a healing suppository, it is important to know that absorption through the rectum, where it is inserted, is much slower than absorption from the stomach. But the effect of the drug will be stretched over time. Therefore, if the child has a moderate temperature (for example, 38 degrees) and there is a whole night ahead, then a candle can be inserted.
Things are quite different if the child is very ill, and therefore he needs help as soon as possible. Usually, many parents make a common mistake using a candle in this case.
But at a high body temperature (above 39 degrees), centralization of blood circulation occurs: a spasm of peripheral vessels and mucous membranes occurs. The body provides blood supply to vital organs (lungs, heart, brain). In this state, a spasm of the rectum also occurs, so there will be no effect from the introduction of a candle. When the temperature is very high and the child looks pale, it is better to use a liquid dosage form.
That is, parents have two options.
First: if the temperature is moderate and there is a whole night ahead, a candle will do.
Second: if the temperature is very high and you need to help the child immediately, use liquid dosage forms.
