這是從美國最負盛名的MAYO CLINIC所出。
首先，跟中醫(yī)一樣，他們也認為發(fā)燒是人體排毒的表現(xiàn)。對成人，如果沒有別的什么特別不適的癥狀，燒到40度（104F)，你可以挺三天，還不退燒，再找醫(yī)生。
理論上來講，小孩可以燒到更高，但是大人慌了手腳，趕緊上醫(yī)院，本來是對醫(yī)生的信任，來尋求幫助，可是我們的白衣天使們（不是所有)卻濫用這種信任，為了自己的經濟收入，不惜以戕害無辜孩子的身體作代價。
如果有興趣，還是讀原文吧。我感覺跟中醫(yī)的處理很像，只是他們沒有中藥.
Fever
發(fā)燒
Overview
綜述
When you or your children aren"t feeling well, one of the first things you may do is check for a fever. Although a fever isn"t an illness itself, it"s usually a sign that something"s going on in your body. Yet fevers aren"t necessarily bad. In fact, they seem to play a key role in helping your body fight off a number of bacterial and viral infections.
當你或者你的小孩感到不舒服的時候，也許你會做的第一件事情就是看看是否發(fā)燒了。盡管發(fā)燒本身不是病，它通常是你的身體發(fā)生了問題的一個跡象。然而發(fā)燒不一定是件壞事。事實上，發(fā)燒有可能是在幫助你的身體戰(zhàn)勝數量眾多的細菌和病毒的感染，而發(fā)燒在這個過程中起到了關鍵的作用。
If you"re an adult, a fever may be uncomfortable, but it usually isn"t dangerous unless it measures 103 F or higher. For very young children and infants, however, even slightly elevated temperatures may indicate a serious infection. In newborns, a subnormal temperature — rather than a fever — may be a sign of serious illness.
如果你不是大人的話，一次發(fā)燒也許會讓你很不舒服，但是如果溫度不達到103華氏度（約為39.4攝氏度)或者以上的話，一般是沒有危險的。然而，對于很小的小孩以及嬰兒來說，溫度只要高那么一點點，也許就意味著嚴重的感染。對于新生的嬰兒來說，不是發(fā)燒，而是低于正常溫度，也許是嚴重疾病的一個跡象。
Because a fever can occur with many different conditions, other signs and symptoms can often help identify the cause. If you don"t know why you have a fever, it"s best not to try to lower your temperature. This may only mask your symptoms and make it harder to determine the cause. In addition, some experts think that aggressively treating all fevers actually interferes with your body"s immune response. That"s because the viruses that cause colds and other respiratory infections thrive at cool temperatures. By producing a low-grade fever, your body may actually be helping eliminate the virus. What"s more, most fevers go away in a relatively short time — usually within a few days.
因為發(fā)燒能在不同情況下發(fā)生，其他跡象和癥狀通常都有助于辨識原因。如果你不知道自己為何發(fā)燒，最好不要試圖降低體溫。這樣做只會掩蓋你的癥狀，使得更難確定病因。除此而外，有些專家認為，強行降體溫事實上會干擾身體的免疫反應。這是因為引起
感冒和其他肺部感染的病毒在低溫下繁殖得更快。事實上，身體會通過產生一個相對較低溫度的發(fā)燒來幫助消滅病毒。除此而外，多數發(fā)燒通常時間較短，一般幾天就沒了。
Signs and symptoms
跡象和癥狀
A fever occurs when your temperature rises above its normal range. What"s normal for you may be a little higher or lower than the average temperature of 98.6 F. That"s why it"s hard to say just what a fever is. But a "significant" fever is usually defined as an oral or ear temperature of 102 F or a rectal temperature of 103 F. A rectal temperature reading is generally 1 degree Fahrenheit higher than an oral reading.
在體溫高于正常范圍的時候，發(fā)燒就產生了。正常體溫應該在37上下（上下可以稍微浮動一點)。這是為什么難以定義發(fā)燒的原因。但是一次“嚴重的”發(fā)燒通�？梢远x為口腔或者耳朵溫度為102華氏度（約為38.9攝氏度)，或者直腸溫度103華氏度（約為39.4攝氏度)。直腸溫度的讀數一般大于口腔溫度1華氏度左右。
Depending on what"s causing your fever, additional signs and symptoms may include:
根據引起發(fā)燒的原因，其他跡象和癥狀也許還包括：
• Sweating
發(fā)汗
• Shivering
發(fā)抖
• Headache
頭痛• Muscle aches
肌肉酸疼
• Lack of appetite
缺乏食欲
• Dehydration
脫水• General weakness
全身虛弱
Very high fevers, between 103 and 106 F, may cause hallucinations, confusion, irritability and even convulsions.
很高溫度的發(fā)燒（介于103華氏度（39.4攝氏度)到106華氏度（41.1攝氏度)之間)也許會引起幻覺，神智不清，亢奮甚至
抽搐。
Approximately four percent of children younger than age 5 experience fever-induced seizures (febrile seizures). The signs of febrile seizures, which occur when a child"s temperature rises or falls rapidly, include a brief loss of consciousness and convulsions. Although these seizures can be extremely alarming, most children don"t experience any lasting effects. Febrile seizures are often triggered by a fever from a common childhood illness such as roseola, a viral infection that causes a high fever, swollen glands and a rash.
大約4%的小于5歲的小孩會發(fā)生因發(fā)燒導致的痙攣（發(fā)燒痙攣)。在小孩的溫度迅速地升高或者降低的時候，痙攣的癥狀就發(fā)生了，包括暫時失去意識以及抽搐。盡管痙攣的癥狀很令人焦心，多數小孩的癥狀不會再持續(xù)。發(fā)燒痙攣通常由這些小孩子的疾病引發(fā)，諸如紅疹，病毒感染，扁
桃體發(fā)炎以及皮疹。
Causes
原因
Even when you"re well, your body temperature varies throughout the day — it"s lower in the morning and higher in the late afternoon and evening. In fact, your normal temperature can range from about 97 to 99 F. Although most people consider 98.6 F a healthy body temperature, yours may vary by a degree or more.
甚至在身體正常的時候，體溫在一天之內也會變動——早晨低，午后和夜晚高。事實上，正常體溫可以在97華氏度到99華氏度（36.1—37.2攝氏度)之內變動。盡管大多數人認為98.6華氏度（37攝氏度)是健康人的體溫，你的體溫也許會高出或者低于這個溫度1度。
Your body temperature is set by your hypothalamus, an area at the base of your brain that acts as a thermostat for your whole system. When something"s wrong, your normal temperature is simply set a few points higher. The new set-point, for example, may be 102 F instead of 97 or 98 F.
體溫是由體丘下部來調節(jié)的，體丘下部在腦子的底部區(qū)域，在身體的整個系統(tǒng)里面擔任了調溫器的作用。當身體發(fā)生狀況的時候，體溫只是被調節(jié)得高幾個點。新的體溫也許是102華氏度（約為38.9攝氏度)，而不是原來的97或者98華氏度（36.1，36.7攝氏度)。
What happens with a fever
發(fā)燒時發(fā)生的情況
When a fever starts and your body tries to elevate its temperature, you feel chilly and may shiver to generate heat. At this point, you probably wrap yourself in your thickest blanket and turn up the heating pad. But eventually, as your body reaches its new set-point, you likely feel hot. And when your temperature finally begins to return to normal, you may sweat profusely, which is your body"s way of dissipating the excess heat.
當發(fā)燒開始的時候，身體試著提高溫度，你就會感到寒冷并且通過發(fā)抖來產生熱量。此時，你也許會用厚的毛毯來把自己裹起來，并把取暖電毯的溫度調高。但是事實上在你的身體達到新的溫度時，你很可能會感到
發(fā)熱。在你的體溫最后開始達到正常的時候，你也許會大量地出汗，這是你的身體釋放高溫產生熱量的方式。
A fever usually means your body is responding to a viral or bacterial infection. Sometimes heat exhaustion, an extreme sunburn or certain inflammatory conditions such as temporal arteritis — inflammation of an artery in your head — may trigger fever as well. In rare instances, a malignant tumor or some forms of kidney cancer may cause a fever.
發(fā)燒通常意味著你的身體對病毒或者細菌感染的抵抗反應。有時，輕度的
中暑衰竭，太陽曝曬過度或者某種炎癥狀況（諸如暫時的動脈炎癥，譬如說
腦動脈炎)也許也會引發(fā)發(fā)燒。惡性腫瘤或者某些
腎癌引起發(fā)燒的幾率很小。
Fever can be a side effect of some medications such as antibiotics and drugs used to treat hypertension or seizures. Some infants and children develop fevers after receiving routine immunizations, such as the diphtheria, tetanus and pertussis (DTaP) or pneumococcal vaccines.
發(fā)燒也可能是一些藥物的副作用引起，譬如說抗生素和用來治療過度緊張以及抽搐的麻醉藥。一些嬰兒和小孩在注射免疫針之后會引起發(fā)燒，譬如說
白喉，
破傷風，
百日咳或者
肺炎疫苗。
Sometimes it"s not possible to identify the cause of a fever. If you have a temperature higher than 100.9 F for more than three weeks and your doctor isn"t able to find the cause after extensive evaluation, the diagnosis may be fever of unknown origin. In most cases, though, the reason for your fever can be found and treated.
盡管在多數情況下發(fā)燒的原因能找到，并且能夠得到治療，有時還是不可能確定發(fā)燒的原因。如果你發(fā)燒超過100.9華氏度（38.3攝氏度)持續(xù)三個星期以上，并且為你治療的醫(yī)生在經過充分的診斷之后，也不能確定病因，那么診斷結果也許會是不明病因的發(fā)燒。
When to seek medical advice
何時尋求醫(yī)治
Fevers by themselves may not be a cause for alarm — or a reason to call a doctor. Yet there are some circumstances when you should seek medical advice for your baby, your child or yourself.
發(fā)燒本身也許不是引起擔憂的原因——或者說看醫(yī)生的原因。然而在如下情況下，你應該為你的寶寶，小孩或者你自己尋求醫(yī)治。
For infants
嬰兒
An unexplained fever is greater cause for concern in infants and children than in adults. Call your baby"s doctor if your baby:
相較于大人，對于嬰兒以及小孩來說，不明原因的發(fā)燒是尋求醫(yī)治的主要原因。如果你的嬰兒：
• Is younger than 2 months of age and has a rectal temperature of 100.4 F or higher. Even if your baby doesn"t have other signs or symptoms, call your doctor just to be safe.
小于2個月并且直腸溫度大于或等于100.4華氏度（38攝氏度)，即便你的寶寶沒有其他生病的跡象或者癥狀，為安全起見還是要叫醫(yī)生。
• Is older than 2 months of age and has a temperature of 102 F or higher.
大于2個月并且直腸溫度大于或者等于102華氏度（38.9攝氏度)
• Is a newborn who has a lower-than-normal temperature — under 95 F rectally.
新生兒并且溫度低于正常體溫——直腸溫度低于95華氏度（35攝氏度)
• Has a fever and unexplained irritability, such as marked crying when you change your baby"s diapers or when he or she is moved. Some infants might have a fever and seem lethargic and unresponsive. In infants and children younger than age 2, these may be signs of meningitis — an infection and inflammation of the membranes and fluid surrounding your brain and spinal cord. If you"re worried that your baby might have meningitis, see your doctor right away. Don"t wait until morning to see your usual physician — meningitis is an emergency.
發(fā)燒并且不明原因的亢奮，譬如在你給寶寶換尿片的時候或者挪動寶寶的時候，寶寶嘶聲裂肺地哭。一些嬰兒也許正發(fā)燒并顯得昏昏欲睡毫無生氣。對于嬰兒以及小于兩歲的小孩來說，這些也許是
腦膜炎的跡象——包裹腦子以及
脊髓的膜質和液質的感染以及炎癥。如果你擔
心寶寶也許得了腦膜炎，立刻尋求醫(yī)治。不要等到第二天早晨才去看醫(yī)生——腦膜炎是一種急癥。
For children
小孩
Children often tolerate fevers quite well, although high temperatures may cause parents a great deal of concern. Still, it"s best to be guided more by how your child acts than by any particular temperature measurement. If your child has a fever but is responsive and is drinking plenty of fluids and wanting to play, there"s probably no cause for alarm.
盡管高溫也許會引起家長很大的擔憂，其實小孩通常較能忍受發(fā)燒。然而，最好是根據你的小孩的行為，而不是根據任何測得的溫度來指導你。如果你的小孩發(fā)燒了，但是他還是比較活潑并且喝水很多，還想玩耍，也許你就不必擔憂。
Call your pediatrician if your child is listless or irritable, vomits repeatedly, has a severe headache or stomachache or has any other symptoms causing significant discomfort. If your child has a fever after being left in a very hot car, seek medical care immediately.
如果你的小孩很倦怠或者很急躁，并一再
嘔吐，頭很痛或者肚子痛，或者有其他使得他很不舒服的癥狀，請聯(lián)絡你的兒科醫(yī)生。如果你的小孩被留在一輛非常熱的車子里面呆了很久，并且發(fā)燒的話，請立即尋求醫(yī)治。
Also call your doctor if fever persists longer than one day in a child younger than age 2 or longer than three days in a child age 2 or older.
如果一個小于兩歲的小孩持續(xù)發(fā)燒超過一天，或者一個大于或等于兩歲的小孩持續(xù)發(fā)燒超過三天的話，請聯(lián)絡醫(yī)生。
Don"t treat fevers below 101 F with any medications unless advised by your doctor.
除非醫(yī)生建議，否則如果發(fā)燒低于101華氏度（38.3攝氏度)的話，不要采用任何藥物治療。
For adults
成人
Call your doctor about a fever if:
發(fā)燒時尋求醫(yī)治如果：
• Your temperature is more than 104 F
體溫超過104華氏度（40攝氏度)
• You"ve had a fever for more than three days
發(fā)燒超過三天
In addition, call your doctor immediately if any of these signs and symptoms accompany a fever:
此外，如果在發(fā)燒時伴隨有以下跡象以及癥狀的話，請尋求醫(yī)治：
• A severe headache
嚴重的頭痛
• Severe swelling of your throat
喉嚨腫得很厲害
• Unusual skin rash
異常皮疹
• Unusual eye sensitivity to bright light
眼睛對亮光的異常過敏
• A stiff neck and pain when you bend your head forward
歪脖并且在頭前傾時感到痛
• Mental confusion
意識錯亂
• Persistent vomiting
持續(xù)嘔吐
• Difficulty breathing or chest pain
呼吸困難并且
胸痛• Extreme listlessness or irritability
極端倦怠或者亢奮
• Abdominal pain or pain when urinating
腹痛或者小便痛
• Any other unexplained symptoms
其他不明原因的癥狀
Screening and diagnosis
診斷
Your doctor will likely diagnose the cause of your fever based on your other symptoms and a physical exam. Sometimes you may need additional tests to confirm a diagnosis. If your doctor suspects pneumonia, for instance, you may have a chest X-ray following your physical exam. In other cases you may have blood or urine tests to check for signs of infection.
根據其他癥狀并且在常規(guī)檢查完之后，醫(yī)生一般會診斷出發(fā)燒的原因。有時需要其他的測試來確定診斷結果。例如，如果醫(yī)生懷疑肺炎的話，也許會在常規(guī)檢查之后，讓你來一個胸透。在其他情況下，也許會讓你進行血液檢查或者尿檢來看是否有感染的跡象。
If you have a low-grade fever that persists for three weeks or more, but have no other symptoms, your doctor may recommend a variety of tests to help find the cause. These may include blood tests and X-rays.
如果你發(fā)燒溫度不高持續(xù)三周，但沒有其他癥狀，醫(yī)生也許會建議你做些檢測來幫助發(fā)現(xiàn)病因。這些檢查也許包括血液檢查以及胸透。
Complications
并發(fā)癥
A rapid rise or fall in temperature may cause a febrile seizure in a small percentage of children younger than age 5. Although they"re alarming for parents, the vast majority of febrile seizures cause no lasting effects.
在小于5歲的小孩中，很小一部分會因為體溫迅速波動而引發(fā)痙攣。盡管小孩的狀況會使父母擔憂，多數痙攣不會有進一步的影響。
If a seizure occurs, lay your child on his or her side. Remove any sharp objects that are near your child, loosen tight clothing and hold your child to prevent injury. Don"t place anything in your child"s mouth or try to stop the seizure. Although most seizures stop on their own, call for emergency medical assistance if the seizure lasts longer than 10 minutes.
如果痙攣發(fā)生的話，讓小孩側躺。將任何扎人的東西從小孩身邊拿走，解松小孩的衣物并且保護好你的小孩不要受到外物傷害。不要嘗試把任何東西放在小孩的嘴巴里面來阻止小孩的痙攣。盡管大多數痙攣自動會停下來，如果痙攣超過10分鐘的話，趕緊尋求醫(yī)治。
If possible, try to time the seizure using your watch or a clock. Because they"re so alarming, seizures often seem to last longer than they really do. Also try to note which part of your child"s body begins to shake first. This can help your doctor understand the cause of the seizure. Your pediatrician should see your child as soon as possible.
如果可能的話，對痙攣的時間進行計時。因為痙攣很令人焦心，所以痙攣的時間通常顯得比實際時間要長。也要注意小孩身體哪一部分先開始顫抖。這個有助于醫(yī)生明白痙攣的原因。應該盡快讓醫(yī)生來給小孩治療。
Treatment
治療
Medical treatment depends on the cause of your fever. Your doctor will likely prescribe antibiotics for bacterial infections, such as pneumonia or strep throat. For viral infections, including stomach flu (gastroenteritis) and mononucleosis, the best treatment is often rest and plenty of fluids.
醫(yī)治取決于發(fā)燒病因。醫(yī)生很可能會對細菌感染開一些抗生素藥，譬如肺炎或者喉部鏈鎖狀球菌感染。對于腸胃型流感（腸胃炎)和
單核細胞增多癥這些病毒感染來說，最好的治療方法通常是休息以及大量飲水。
Your doctor may also suggest taking over-the-counter medications, such as acetaminophen (Tylenol, others) or ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin, others) to lower a very high fever. Adults may also use aspirin. But don"t give aspirin to children. It may trigger a rare, but potentially fatal, disorder known as Reye"s syndrome.
醫(yī)生也許會建議你服用一些非處方藥，譬如退熱凈( 一種替代
阿司匹林的解熱鎮(zhèn)痛藥，羥苯基乙酰胺)或者
布洛芬(抗炎、鎮(zhèn)痛藥)來降高溫。成人也許還會服用阿斯匹林(解熱鎮(zhèn)痛藥)。但是不要給小孩服用阿司匹林。如果服用的話，也許會引發(fā)一種很少見但是潛在致命的神經紊亂癥——雷氏綜合癥！
Prevention
預防
The best way to prevent fevers is to reduce your exposure to infectious diseases. One of the most effective ways to do that is also one of the simplest — frequent hand washing.
最好的防止發(fā)燒的方法是盡量不要和有傳染性的病源接觸。最有效也是最簡單的方法之一就是——勤洗手。
Teach your children to wash their hands often, especially before they eat and after using the toilet, spending time in a crowded public place or petting animals. Show them how to wash their hands vigorously, covering both the front and back of each hand with soap, and rinsing thoroughly under running water. Carry hand-washing towelettes with you for times when you don"t have access to soap and water. When possible, teach your kids not to touch their noses, mouths or eyes — the main way viral infections are transmitted.
教育小孩勤洗手，尤其在飯前和便后以及在擁擠的公共場所或者和寵物呆過之后。告訴他們怎么樣仔細洗手，要用香皂洗每只手的前邊和后邊，并用流動的水將手完全沖洗干凈。在你沒有香皂和水的時候，身上要帶上洗手用的小毛巾。如果可能的話，教育你的小孩不要用手去摸鼻子，嘴巴或者眼睛——這些是病毒感染傳播最主要的途徑。
Self-care
自我治療
Because your body loses more water with a fever, be sure to drink plenty of fluids to avoid dehydration. Water is best, but if it"s hard to get your children to drink water, encourage them to drink juices or sports drinks containing electrolytes, or to eat frozen ice pops. Adults and children should also get enough rest. Don"t be concerned with treating a fever just because it"s a fever. Often, a low-grade fever is actually helping fight off an infection. In addition, follow these guidelines for both children and adults:
因為在發(fā)燒的時候身體失水比平時更多，一定要多喝水來避免脫水。喝水是最好的，但如果在很難喝到水的情況下，設法讓孩子喝果汁、包含電解質的運動型飲料或者吃冰凍的冰汽水。大人和小孩都應該得到充分的休息。不要因為發(fā)燒是小毛病而自作聰明地進行干預。通常情況下，低燒實際上在幫助戰(zhàn)勝感染。此外，對于大人和小孩來說，都要遵循以下指導意見：
For temperatures less than 102 F
對于小于102華氏度（38.9攝氏度)的溫度
Don"t use any medication for a fever in this range unless advised by your doctor. And don"t give children aspirin because of the risk of Reye"s syndrome. Instead, dress in comfortable, light clothing and try bathing in lukewarm water. At bedtime, cover yourself or your child with just a sheet or light blanket.
除非醫(yī)師建議，否則不要服用任何藥物。因為有雷氏綜合癥的風險，所以不要給小孩服用阿司匹林。相反地，要穿得舒服而輕松一點，泡一個溫水澡。睡覺的時候，只給你或者你的小孩蓋一床被單或者一條輕毯子。
For temperatures between 102 and 104 F
對于102到104華氏度之間的溫度（38.9——40攝氏度)
Take acetaminophen or ibuprofen according to the label instructions or as recommended by your doctor. If you"re not sure about the proper dosage, be sure to check with your doctor or pharmacist. Adults may use aspirin instead.
根據說明書或者醫(yī)囑服用退熱凈( 一種替代阿司匹林的解熱鎮(zhèn)痛藥)或者布洛芬(抗炎、鎮(zhèn)痛藥)。如果你對劑量沒有把握，一定要跟醫(yī)生或者藥劑師確認。成人也許可以服用阿司匹林。
Be careful not to give too much medication. High doses or long-term use of acetaminophen may cause liver or kidney damage, and acute overdoses can be fatal. If you"re not able to get your child"s fever down, don"t give more medication. Call your doctor instead. Side effects of aspirin and other nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs such as Motrin and Advil include stomach pain, bleeding and ulcers.
注意不要服藥過多。大劑量或者長時期服用退熱凈也許會引起肝臟或者腎臟損傷，一次超量服用會導致致命的結果！如果你不能將小孩的溫度將下來，不要再服用更多的藥物。而是要叫醫(yī)生。阿司匹林以及其他非類固醇抗炎癥藥物——例如Motrin和Advil——會有胃痛，出血和潰瘍等副作用。
For temperatures greater than 104 F
對于超過104華氏度（40攝氏度)的溫度
Give adults or children acetaminophen or ibuprofen following the manufacturer"s instructions or as recommended by your doctor. Adults may use aspirin instead. If you"re not sure about the dosage, check with your doctor or pharmacist. Be careful not to give too much medication.
依照藥廠的說明書或者醫(yī)囑給大人或者小孩服用退熱凈或者布洛芬。大人也許可以用阿司匹林來代替。如果你對劑量沒有把握，一定要跟醫(yī)生或者藥劑師確認。一定要注意不要服用過量的藥物。
Acetaminophen is available in liquid, chewable and suppository forms for children, but it"s often easiest to give medications in liquid form. For a small child, use a syringe with measurements on the side and a bulb on the tip. Gently squirt the medicine in the back corners of your child"s mouth.
對于小孩子來說，退熱凈有口服液，口香糖和栓劑等幾種形式選擇，但通常很容易采用溶劑的方式給小孩服藥。對于一個比較小的小孩子來說，可以采用邊上帶刻度，頂部是圓球的注射器來為他服藥。輕輕地將藥物推射到小孩的嘴巴里面的后部。
Use a five- to ten-minute sponge bath of lukewarm water to try to bring your own or your child"s temperature down. A sponge bath is most likely to help if it"s used shortly after a dosage of acetaminophen or ibuprofen, so that the medication can work to keep the fever down after the bath takes effect.
用帶溫水的海綿擦洗全身五到十分鐘使得你自己或者你的小孩的體溫降下來。在服用一劑退熱凈或者布洛芬之后，立刻用海綿擦身很有用，這樣在擦后藥效能夠將溫度降下來。
If your child shivers in the bath, stop the bath, dry your child and wait. Shivering actually raises the body"s internal temperature — shaking muscles generate heat. If the fever doesn"t moderate or your child has a febrile seizure that lasts longer than five minutes, seek immediate medical care.
如果在擦洗的時候小孩顫抖的話，不要再擦洗了，將小孩擦干并且等下來觀察。顫抖實際上會升高體內的溫度——抖動肌肉產生熱量。如果發(fā)燒還不和緩下來或者小孩發(fā)燒痙攣超過5分鐘，立刻尋求醫(yī)治。
Taking a temperature
量體溫
To check your or your child"s temperature level, you can choose from several types of thermometers, including electronic thermometers and ear (tympanic) thermometers. Thermometers with digital readouts and those that take the temperature quickly from the ear canal are especially useful for young children and older adults. Because glass mercury thermometers harm both humans and the environment, they have been phased out and are no longer recommended.
你可以使用好幾種類型的溫度計來檢查你自己或者你的小孩的體溫狀況，譬如電子溫度計或者耳塞溫度計。帶數字讀數的溫度計和能從耳道迅速取得溫度的溫度計對于小孩或者老人來說特別有用。因為玻璃
水銀溫度計對于人類和環(huán)境都有害處，現(xiàn)在已經逐步被淘汰不再建議使用了。
Although it"s not the most accurate way to take a temperature, you can also use an oral thermometer for an armpit (axillary) reading. Place the thermometer in the armpit with arms crossed over the chest. Wait four to five minutes. The axillary temperature is about 1 degree Fahrenheit less than an oral temperature.
盡管使用口腔溫度計來量腋窩的溫度讀得的數不是最精確，還是可以采用這種方式。將溫度計放在腋窩里面，用胳肢窩夾住它。等四到五分鐘。腋窩溫度比口腔溫度大約低1華氏度。
Use a rectal thermometer for infants. Place a dab of petroleum jelly on the bulb. Lay your baby on his or her tummy. Carefully insert the bulb one-half inch to one inch into your baby"s rectum. Hold the bulb and your baby still for three minutes. Don"t let go of the thermometer while it"s inside your baby. If your baby squirms, it could go deeper and cause an injury.
要給嬰兒使用直腸溫度計。涂少量的凡士林在溫度計上。將寶寶趴過來平放。將溫度計小心地插入寶寶的直腸0.5到1英寸。靜靜地握住溫度計和你的寶寶三分鐘。當溫度計在寶寶直腸里面的時候不要放開溫度計。如果寶寶扭動身體的話，溫度計會插得更深并傷害到寶寶。
